On the eve of the New York Mets and Milwaukee Brewers entering the 2024 Wild Card Series Brew Crew, general manager Matt Arnold made his first signing of the 2024-2025 offseason. Journeyman reliever Vinny Nittoli joins the Brewers on a minor league contract and an invitation to gigantic league camp during spring training.
Vinny Nittoli opted out of his contract with the New York Mets and signed with the Milwaukee Brewers.
USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported that “Vinny Nittoli is opting out of his Mets contract and signing today with the Milwaukee Brewers, who invite him to their big league training camp next spring.” Nittoli didn’t pitch for the Mets’ major league team this year, but had brief stints with the Baltimore Orioles and Oakland Athletics. He also worked in the Chicago Cubs organization.
Who is Vinny Nittoli?
At 33 years ancient, Vinny Nittoli has 18.2 total career innings in the gigantic leagues. He made his MLB debut with his original 2021 draft team in the Seattle Mariners. He then had brief stints with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2022 and the New York Mets in 2023. This year, between the Orioles and Athletics, he threw 12.0 innings and had an ERA of 1.50 with eight strikeouts.
What is Vinny Nittoli’s repertoire of songs?
According to baseball expert Vinny Nittoli, he relies heavily on the cutter, who averages 89 mph but has a lot of movement. He also has a gigantic sweeper and curveball, as well as a changeup and sinker. The right-hander finds success by generating airy contact and forcing hitters to chase his pitches, which, as mentioned, have a lot of movement.
Vinny Nittoli won’t make an impact for the Brewers this year, but he will be an intriguing player to keep an eye on next spring. Jared Koenig was Milwaukee’s second-round addition last offseason and now he’s a key piece on Milwaukee’s team, showing that you never know who will step up and succeed.
