The Milwaukee Brewers currently lead the Major Leagues with the most different starting pitchers used this season. They utilized their 15th different starting pitcher on Monday night against the Colorado Rockies. If two more players start for them this year then they will tie a franchise record last set in 1969.
Who was the 15th different starting pitcher that the Milwaukee Brewers utilized against the Colorado Rockies?
This year manager Pat Murphy has been utilizing an opener for Bryse Wilson. Lefties Jared Koenig and Hoby Milner have opened for him in the past but against the Colorado Rockies it was a different southpaw in Rob Zastryzny. Rob Zastryzny signed a minor league deal with the team last December, has MLB experience with the Chicago Cubs, New York Mets, Los Angeles Angels, and Pittsburgh Pirates, and recently had his contract selected from Triple-A after posting a 3.18 ERA over 28.1 innings.

Mjs Brewers Preview Week 5
A season before the Seattle Pilots moved to Milwaukee they used 17 different starting pitchers. That 1969 franchise record is currently in jeopardy because the 2024 Brewers are currently just over the halfway point in terms of games played. At this rate it seems inevitable that this franchise record gets broken this season.
