Brent Suter spent seven seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers. Up until his recent departure, in which he was claimed off waivers by the Rockies, he was the longest tenured player on the team. Throughout his time in Milwaukee, he accomplished a lot both on and off the field. Brewers reporter Adam McCalvy shared some quotes from Suter after the news broke.
It’s an emotional day for Brent Suter, who had a hard time getting through how much he will miss the connections he made in Milwaukee, from the Brewers to nonprofits like the Urban Ecology Center and so many others others. “It’s been a special ride I’m never going to forget.”

More from Suter, a 31st rd Draft pick: “Going into pro ball, you know the odds are stacked against you. The Brewers always gave me a fair shake at every level and every Spring Training. I’ll never forget that. Being in the big leagues with them for seven years has been unreal.”

One more from Brent Suter: “I loved every person I came into contact with in Milwaukee and we’re going to continue those relationships. My son Layton was born in Milwaukee this year. I’m always connected there. Those connections to the city won’t go away at all.”

Brent Suter’s Accomplishments As A Brewer
Baseball wise, Suter is leaving Milwaukee with a 3.51 career ERA. He has covered 394 innings, appeared in 194 games, and made 39 starts. Over his seven year career, he has an ERA+ of 120.
Along with a glowing stat line, Suter made his reputation on the mound as a tall and lengthy lefty that works at an incredibly fast pace. He made some very acrobatic plays for the Brewers over the years, despite them not always looking the most fluent.
Off the field, Suter was heavily involved with non profits. His main focus was cleaning up the environment and he even had a large portion of the team switch over to re-usable water bottles. Suter was also the Brewers representative to the Players Union.
Suter brought a lot of positive energy to the team, which makes seeing him go more difficult. We wish him the best of luck in Colorado.
