Jake Cousins

28-Year-Old PitcherRP
Milwaukee Brewers
2023 Fantasy Outlook
After a promising rookie debut in 2021, Cousins was expected to be a key part of the Brewers' late-inning mix. Unfortunately, the right-hander made just eight appearances last April before suffering a UCL injury in his right elbow that sidelined him for nearly three months. Cousins opted against undergoing Tommy John surgery and instead received a PRP injection before beginning his rehab program. He reached the final stage of his recovery in late July and spent the next month on a minor-league rehab assignment before he was activated and subsequently optioned. Cousins returned to the Brewers in September and made four more appearances to bring his total to 12 on the season, covering just 13.1 innings. The 28-year-old has tremendous upside (13.5 K/9 over 43.1 big league innings) and could play an important role for Milwaukee in 2023, but is one of the riskier late-round darts due to the possibility of re-injury.

March 21, 2023
Cousins was optioned to Triple-A Nashville by the Brewers on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Cousins had surrendered seven earned runs on nine hits and four walks through six innings of work this spring in the Cactus League. He should get another look in the Milwaukee bullpen at some point in the early part of the 2023 season.

Stat Review
How does Jake Cousins compare to other relievers?
This section compares his stats with all relief pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 30 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 30 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.
