These are true starting pitchers, players whose role, for the time being at least, is set.
Starting Pitchers
1. Eric Arnett (Rookie)
2. Mark Rogers (High A)
3. Amaury Rivas (High A)
4. Josh Butler (AA)
5. Kyle Heckathorn (Rookie)
If this list were to go ten deep, you'd see names like Chris Cody, Jeremy Jeffress and Evan Anundsen, but we're sticking with five as we've done with every other position.
Kyle Heckathorn will start us at No.5, it's kind of sad that two picks from this years draft immediately rank in the top five starters in the Brewers system. Scouting reports at draft time said that Heckathorn, a righty, throws hard, with a mid-90s fastball and a power breaking ball. Much like the No. 1 pitcher on our list, he threw a lot of innings in college so his professional innings were minimal this year. Since he's a college pitcher he's considered an advanced prospect, I wouldn't be surprised if he joined what could be a very interesting pitching staff at Wisconsin this year.
Sitting at fourth on the list is Josh Butler. Crew fans got a little glimpse of Butler during September call-ups. If you were watching at the end of last season you would've seen a guy with good movement on his fastball and hit around 93-94 on the gun. Butler was the player the Brewers got when they traded Gabe Gross to Tampa Bay. He had been treading water in High A until this season when something clicked. He saw improvement in nearly every statistical category and earned his way on to this list. He may be one of the chief options in case of injury this season.


Eric Arnett gets the top spot, purely on potential and draft position. Much like Jake Odirizzi in our pitcher grouping, we don't have a very good statistical sampling of Arnett. He pitched a ton of innings for Indiana before being drafted so the team had him on a very strict inning count. Scouting reports at draft time said he throws hard, mid-90s, with a good breaking ball and improving change-up. It's difficult to project where Arnett will be assigned next year, college players are generally more advanced so the team likely hopes he will rise quickly.
What's nice to see is that there are talented starters nearing the major league level. The Brewers inability to develop pitchers is notorious, but with the prospects coming up in the next few seasons that should change. Excitement for pitching prospects, weird.
