Craig Yoho continues his rapid ascent, can he join the Milwaukee Brewers in 2024?

Where did Craig Yoho begin his 2024 season?

Yoho began the year pitching in Wisconsin for the Timber Rattlers, he appeared in 16 games, threw 20.1 innings, allowed only eight hits and six walks, 14 total baserunners, while striking out 37 of the 77 batters he faced. Yoho's WHIP for the T-Rats was an impressive 0.689, his opponent batting average was .119, his ERA was 0.44 as he allowed only one earned run in his 16 appearances and his strikeout advanced numbers were just ridiculous.

For the Timber Rattlers, Craig Yoho averaged 16.4 strikeouts per nine innings, struck out 48.1 percent of the batters he faced and had a strikeout to walk ratio of 6.17:1, for context, likely AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal sports a strikeout to walk ratio of 6.21:1. For good measure, Craig Yoho also went 7-for-7 on save attempts for the Timber Rattlers before moving up to AA Biloxi to pitch for the Shuckers.

Craig Yoho went from High-A Wisconsin to AA Biloxi on May 30th and immediately continued his dominance, and quite possibly pitched even better than he did for Wisconsin. Yoho made 18 appearances covering 23.0 innings, allowed 14 hits and eight walks, 22 total baserunners, while striking out 46 of 99 total batters faced!

Yoho's ERA with Biloxi was 1.17 along with a 0.957 WHIP, .167 opponent batting average and some more impressive strikeout numbers. 18.00 strikeouts per nine innings, 46.4 strikeout percentage and 5.75:1 strikeout to walk ratio. Yoho was not long for Biloxi and earned his second promotion of the summer just over two months after his first.

On August 6th, Craig Yoho was promoted to AAA Nashville where he currently pitches. Yoho has made three appearances to date for the Nashville Sounds, covering 4.0 innings. His ERA sits at 0.00, WHIP at .750, opponent batting average at .200 as he's allowed just three hits against 15 batters faced. Yoho has not yet walked a batter in AAA and has struck out seven, marking a 46.7 percent strikeout percentage. His current strikeout per nine innings rate would be 15.75 and with zero walks his strikeout to walk ratio is currently 7:0.
