Brewers' Brent Suter claimed off waivers by Colorado Rockies

MILWAUKEE — Brent Suter, the longest-tenured player on the Milwaukee Brewers, has been claimed off waivers by the Colorado Rockies.

The team broke the news on social media Friday afternoon.

The pitcher was drafted by the Brewers in the 31st round of the 2012 MLB draft.

The 33-year-old Suter went 5-3 with a 3.78 ERA in 54 appearances this past season. He struck out 53 and walked 22 in 66 2/3 innings.

Suter had spent his entire big league career with Milwaukee, making his debut in 2016. He was the longest-tenured Brewer and had served as the team's union representative.

Suter owns a 36-19 record and 3.51 ERA in 196 career appearances, including 39 starts. He has 338 strikeouts and 98 walks in 394 2/3 innings.

Suter was the Brewers’ 2022 nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award, given to a player who best represents baseball through character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions on and off the field. It was the third time the Brewers had nominated him for the award.
