Craig Yoho

25-Year-Old PitcherRP
Milwaukee Brewers AAA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Yoho, a 25-year-old righty reliever, opened 2024 at High-A Wisconsin and climbed to the highest level of the minors while logging a 0.94 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 101 strikeouts and 10 saves in 57.2 innings across three levels. Yoho's statistics are up there with any reliever prospect in the game, although he does it with an interesting pitch mix. His low-90s fastball isn't remarkable, but he boasts a 70-grade changeup and plus breaking ball, which allows him to keep righties and lefties off balance despite lacking traditional late-inning velocity. Yoho should spend most of 2025 in the majors, and he is more interesting in dynasty leagues that reward holds, as he is unlikely to unseat Trevor Megill in the ninth inning in 2025.

The Brewers optioned Yoho to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Yoho was called up to the majors for his first major-league stint April 21 and got into five contests while with the big club. The right-hander struggled, however, posting a 9.53 ERA and 2.29 WHIP with a 4:6 K:BB over 5.2 innings. In a corresponding move Saturday, Milwaukee recalled pitcher Elvin Rodriguez from Nashville.
