Scouting Report: Mitchell Stumpo
Chicago Cubs | RP
Overall
Summary
Garrett Mitchell was scratched from the Brewers' lineup on May 6, 2026 due to illness. The center fielder was expected to return within a few days for the series against the Yankees. However, Mitchell has been struggling significantly at the plate, hitting just .129/.176/.161 in May with a 41.2% strikeout rate. After an unsustainable hot start (.273/.437/.436 through 20 games), he has cooled dramatically with a .424 OPS over his last 15 games. His season slash line stands at .219/.364/.333 through 32 appearances with 4 hits in his last 22 at-bats over 5 games. Mitchell has a concerning 37.5% whiff rate, the sixth-worst in MLB among qualified hitters.
