Milwaukee Brewers: Former Brewer pitcher nominated for prestigious award

Cincinnati Reds reliever and former Milwaukee Brewers player Brent Suter is among the nominees for the prestigious Roberto Clemente Award, announced by Cincy’s Official Twitter Account (formerly X).

“A Cincinnati native who is making a big impact in his city’s community. Congratulations to Brent Suter on being named the Reds’ 2024 Roberto Clemente Award nominee!”

The Roberto Clemente Award is given annually by MLB to the player who best exemplifies sportsmanship and altruism on and off the field. The award is voted on by fans and media. Last season, New York Yankees star Aaron Judge won the award, and only one Brewers player has ever received the honor. In 1983, it was Brewers first baseman Cecil Cooper.

It is also worth noting that Brewers pitcher Freddy Peralto was among the nominees for the award.
