$Signed a one-year contract with the Brewers in January of 2023.
Gets another starting chance
PMilwaukee Brewers
May 27, 2023
Rea is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Giants in Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Given the Brewers' ever-growing list of injuries in the rotation along with the fact that Rea blanked the Astros over 5.1 innings in his return to a starting role earlier this week, it comes as little surprise that he'll receive a second straight turn. With none of the Brewers' injured starting pitchers seemingly close to a return, Rea's spot in the rotation should be safe for a bit, but he's still tough to depend on outside of NL-only leagues or deeper mixed leagues. Through 36.1 innings with the big club in 2023, Rea has gone 1-3 and owns a 4.71 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 29:15 K:BB.

Stat Review
How does Colin Rea compare to other starting pitchers?
This section compares his stats with all starting pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 120 innings)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.

* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 120 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2018
2017
2016
Rea put together a solid 2020 campaign for the most part, but his ERA for the year was really damaged by two poor outings, especially his last of the season. He surrendered four runs on five hits, including two home runs to the Cubs in just two innings. The right-hander did see his velocity rise a tick during the 2020 season, sitting around 93 mph. He also mixed in his cutter (17.8 percent of his pitches) and curveball (19.1%) effectively. Rea ended up inking a one-year deal with Chicago in December to avoid arbitration, but the club released him in January so that he could pursue opportunities in Japan. If he does end up latching on somewhere overseas, he'll likely have an opportunity to serve as a starter.
Rea underwent Tommy John surgery in November 2016, and as expected, was out for all of 2017. He's reportedly on target to be ready for spring training with the hope of earning spot in the Padres' Opening Day rotation. Rea relies on average fastball velocity along with a cutter, curve and occasional splitter. He's a groundball pitcher, which helps when he's away from Petco Park. Best-case scenario, Rea is a back-end innings eater. The Padres have openings in their rotation, with Rea battling several others also returning from injury. Even though he could help in the bullpen, San Diego will probably send him to Triple-A El Paso to build up innings if he doesn't break camp as a starter. Rea has little fantasy appeal unless you are playing in a deep draft-and-hold league.
Rea's 2016 season was full of wild twists and turns, including a trade to Miami, a quick return to San Diego, news that he would undergo Tommy John surgery in early August, and then a change of plans regarding the procedure that instead left him with a platelet-rich plasma injection to treat his UCL tear. Through late October, everything was on track with Rea's rehab throwing program, but it was eventually decided that he'd need UCL surgery after all. He projects to be fully recovered for spring training in 2018, and should slot in near the back of a fluid Padres rotation.
Rea was given an audition in the starting rotation in August, with the Padres looking to evaluate talent late in a lost season. The results were strong, perhaps better than one would expect from a pitcher with simply mediocre strikeout rate and walk rates in his minor-league career, but it's important to note that five of his six starts came at home. He had an above-average groundball rate and held lefties to a .662 OPS, but also gave up a lot of hard contact and induced few swings and misses. His stuff may be that of a back-end starter long-term -- he works primarily with a low-90s fastball, a mid-to-high 80s cutter and a curveball -- but the right-hander should get to compete for a starting role in spring training if his arm is healthy.
