It’s jaw-dropping how fast pitchers are throwing nowadays if I saw a pitch coming at me that fast this is what I would do.
Would have liked to see the pitch be a strike, but since there’s not many humans who could throw a baseball that fast, I’m giving him a pass on that.
Quick notes about Uribe: He was signed as an international free agent for the Brewers in 2018. He spent the 2019 with Rocky Mountain Vibes of the Pioneer League, and the Arizona League Brewers. After minor league baseball cancelled their season in 2020 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, Uribe spent the 2021 season with the Carolina Mudcats where he went 1-0 with a 4.01 ERA, 52 strikeouts, and allowing the opposition to only hit .192 off him in 17 games.
Uribe was promoted ahead of the 2022 season to Milwaukee’s Double-Affiliate Biloxi Shuckers. Uribe only pitched in two games, before missing the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee
Uribe this season, has served as the Shucker closer, and has been virtually unhittable. Uribe has seven saves and has not blown a save this season. His numbers this year are eye-popping. Uribe has 28 strikeouts, has issued only nine walks, and allowed one home run.
Uribe is only 22 years old, but with how good Milwaukee is at developing pitcher, this could be a guy who we see in a Brewer uniform the next couple of years.
