Garabito hasn’t yet had much major league success, to put things lightly. He’s posted a 5.77 ERA in 34 1\/3 major league innings to this point, as opponents have batted .284 with a .368 on-base percentage against him over that small sample.<\/p>\n
In the minors, Garabito had some decent past seasons for the Rangers, San Francisco Giants, and Kansas City Royals organizations. But in 2025, he made 10 starts at Triple-A Round Rock, went 0-7, and put up a ghastly 8.53 ERA in 31 2\/3 innings. <\/p>\n
Garabito isn’t exactly a Baseball Savant darling, either, as the thing that stands out the most about his pitch movement profile is that his curveball has a lot less vertical drop than the major league average — more than six inches, to be precise.<\/p>\n
Perhaps that is a sign, though, that if the Brewers can get his curve dropping more vertically and sweeping less horizontally, that he can create a more effective five-pitch mix, which would signal that he could be a long reliever or No. 5 starter.<\/p>\n
There’s a chance we never hear Garabito’s name uttered on a regular-season Brewers broadcast, but if he shows up, it will be yet another testament to Milwaukee’s ability to fine-tune the pitchers they scoop up from outside the organization.<\/p>\n
