Corbin Burnes made the Milwaukee Brewers two years after he was drafted in the Fourth Round, and after he debuted in July of 2018, he rattled off seven wins out of the bullpen with a 2.61 ERA. That promising start unraveled in 2019, where his ERA exploded to 8.82 with a WHIP of 1.837. The Brewers had no idea what to expect from Burnes in the COVID plagued 2020 Season, and thankfully for all parties concerned, Burnes had a very good comeback season, where he was sixth in Cy Young voting, with a 4-1 Record and a 2.11 ERA.
Burnes exploded in 2021, winning the Cy Young, while leading the NL in ERA (2.43), ERA+ (176), FIP (1.63), SO/9 (12.6) and SO/BB (6.88), had a record of 11-5 and struck out 234 batters. He won the Cy Young, and though he did not repeat in 2022, he was in contention, finishing seventh, and winning his first Strikeout crown (243), with another All-Star and sub-three ERA. Burnes followed that with another All-Star year, though with reduced numbers (10-8, 3.39 ERA with 200 Strikeouts), though that was where it ended for him in Milwaukee as he was traded to Baltimore.
As a Brewer, Burnes posted a record of 45 and 27 with 870 Strikouts.
