Brewers bullish on Sproat, drawing Corbin Burnes comparisons
Milwaukee insiders say Brandon Sproat's early performance exceeds what Burnes showed at the same stage, signaling a potential rotation piece.
The Brewers organization is expressing strong confidence in pitching prospect Brandon Sproat. A reporter noted Sproat has outperformed Corbin Burnes at a comparable point in Burnes' development in 2019. Burnes went on to win the NL Cy Young Award in 2021. The comparison suggests Milwaukee views Sproat as a high-ceiling starter worth monitoring for roster impact.
