The first Brewer to ever achieve four consecutive scoreless starts
In short: Freddy Peralta didn't just have a good month in 2025; he rewrote the Milwaukee Brewers' record books. By maintaining a streak of four consecutive starts without surrendering a run, he achieved a feat of consistency that had never been seen in franchise history.
In April 2013, Freddy Peralta joined the Seattle Mariners as an international free agent after being born in Moca, Dominican Republic. His journey to the Major Leagues was marked by several organizational shifts, including a trade to the Milwaukee Brewers in December 2015. He made his MLB debut on May 13, 2018, immediately setting a franchise record for strikeouts by a first-time starter with 13 in just over five innings. He signed his initial contract for a $137,000 bonus in April 2013. During his first year of professional ball, he posted a 1.46 ERA over 13 games.
Peralta's career has been defined by high-strikeout production and resilience against injuries. In 2025, he reached several major milestones, including his 1,000th career strikeout on May 12. That same year, he led the National League with 17 wins and posted a 2.70 ERA. His performance in August 2025 was particularly dominant: he recorded four wins in five starts, maintained a 0.32 ERA, and finished the month with a 30-inning scoreless streak. In late 2019, he suffered an injury to his shoulder joint. He also spent time on the paternity list in 2020 for the birth of his daughter.
Beyond his individual accolades, Peralta has been a cornerstone of the Brewers' rotation for years. Alongside Yovani Gallardo and Corbin Burnes, he entered a group of just three franchise pitchers to achieve 200-plus strikeouts across three different seasons. After being traded to the New York Mets in early 2026 and subsequently moved to the Tampa Bay Rays later that year, he continued his high-impact play, earning AL Pitcher of the Month honors in September 2026 with a 0.96 ERA. His brother Luis is also a professional baseball player. During his tenure with the Mets, his strikeout percentage dropped to 22.1%.
