Back in 2018, the Milwaukee Brewers signed right-handed pitcher Peter Strzelecki out of the University of South Florida as an undrafted free agent. Four years later, he was dominating big-league hitters as a shutdown reliever in the Brewers' bullpen.

The then-27-year-old made his MLB debut on June 2, 2022, with a team that was hoping to defend their division title. After allowing runs in three of his first five outings, Strzelecki, despite showing value as a multi-inning reliever, was sent back down to Triple-A shortly after his debut. One more brief stint with the big-league club, and a subsequent demotion to Nashville ensued before Strzelecki was back up with the major league squad for good.
