Brandon Sproat

25-Year-Old PitcherSP
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Sproat enters 2026 likely to be rotation depth with a chance to pitch in a multi-inning relief role in the majors or stay stretched out in the Triple-A rotation. The 25-year-old righty took a while to master Triple-A, as he had a 7.53 ERA in seven starts there in 2024 and a 6.29 ERA and 43:33 K:BB in his first 63 innings at Triple-A in 2025. Things flipped in late-June, as he logged a 2.44 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 70:21 K:BB in 59 innings over his next 11 starts before getting a September call-up. Sproat has a deep repertoire, and figuring out the right sequencing took some time at Triple-A. He now leans on his mid-90s sinker, plus sweeper, plus changeup and above-average curveball. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound hurler built up to 141.2 innings last year and he'll certainly remain on the starting path long term, even if there isn't room for him in the Opening Day rotation. Being traded to the Brewers improves Sproat's immediate outlook slightly since the back end of their rotation isn't fully settled, but Milwaukee's strong starting depth means there's still a decent chance he begins 2026 at Triple-A. His struggles early in 2025 at Triple-A and inflated 4.79 ERA in the majors (2.80 FIP, 3.84 xFIP) create a nice buy-low window this offseason. Read Past Outlooks

The Mets traded Sproat and Jett Williams to the Brewers on Wednesday in exchange for Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Sproat broke into the majors toward the end of the 2025 season, posting a 4.79 ERA and 1.21 WHIP to go with a 17:7 K:BB over 20.2 innings (four starts) with the Mets. The 25-year-old righty's chances of beginning 2026 in the Brewers' rotation increase with Peralta and Myers now out of the picture, though Sproat may still be more likely to open the campaign at Triple-A Nashville given Milwaukee's depth of rotation options.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sproat dominated High-A and Double-A hitters before hitting a wall at Triple-A in his first pro season after not pitching in 2023 after getting selected in the second round. He is known for his age (spent four years at Florida, turns 25 in September) fastball velocity (96.3 mph average in 2024, topped out at 101.5 mph) and plus changeup, although his fastball plays below its velocity due to mediocre shape. The 6-foot-3 righty also boasts an above-average sweeper and seldom-used curveball. His command/control is fringy, so he profiles as a high-strikeout starter who could be a WHIP liability early in his career. Sproat's K-BB% dipped from 26.7 percent at Double-A to 7.8 percent at Triple-A, while his WHIP spiked from 0.87 to 1.64. The 116.1 innings he threw last year were the most he'd ever thrown in a season, so it's possible he just wore down late in the season, and that explains his struggles at Triple-A. However, the caliber of hitter at Triple-A vs. the majors is night and day, so the fact we haven't seen Sproat master Triple-A yet is still a valid concern with regards to drafting him for 2025.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
NYM not ready to promote
PNew York Mets
July 2, 2025
The Mets have yet to call up Sproat since the organization doesn't want to interrupt his development process, reports Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News.
Analysis
New York has dealt with a plethora of injuries to the starting rotation, but the organization has yet to turn to their top pitching prospects like Sproat, Nolan McLean or Jonah Tong. Sproat hasn't exactly handled himself well at the Triple-A level with a 5.74 ERA in 17 starts this season and a 7.53 ERA over seven outings in his first taste of the level last year, so the Mets likely want him to turn a corner before promoting him for his MLB debut. Sean Manaea is also close to returning from his oblique and elbow injuries, so rotation reinforcements are already on the horizon for the big club.
