2026 Season performance
Across 75 appearances, including one start, Ashby logged 89⅓ innings with a 3.12 ERA and 116 strikeouts in the 2026 regular season. His 15 holds and four saves illustrate a substantial bullpen workload, with strikeout stuff central to his value.
Updated 2026-11-10Career background
Ashby came through Crowder College in Missouri and was selected by Milwaukee in the fourth round, 125th overall, in 2018. After reaching the majors in June 2021, he worked in both starting and relief roles. Nineteen starts and 107⅓ innings in 2022 marked an early period of extended responsibility.
His usage later shifted toward the bullpen. Two of his fourteen appearances in 2024 were starts; in 2025 he started only once in 43 outings and posted a 2.16 ERA. That progression is a story of role adaptation as well as pitching ability: tools developed for starting had to work with different entry points and inning demands.
