The Curveball, the Comeback and the Calm of Aaron Ashby
The Brewers’ standout reliever has pitched 14 scoreless innings in the playoffs. Ashby has come a long way from Crowder College and early MLB struggles. Aaron Ashby, a relief pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers, has been instrumental in a team that has won eight and a half games this postseason. During a tense World Series Game 1 against Tampa Bay, Ashby retired five batters in just 20 pitches, 14 of them strikes, including three by strikeouts. His performance helped the team secure a 3-2 victory. Manager Pat Murphy has used Ashby every time in a tied or one-run game, and he has also pitched 14 shutout innings in which only seven runners have reached. Despite a slow start with the Brewers, Ashbys' dominance in this postseason has been attributed to his ability to control the ball in the park.
