Former UCLA outfielder Garrett Mitchell helped the Milwaukee Brewers win their first World Series championship, capping a historic season for the franchise. Mitchell also delivered in the NLCS, homering in consecutive games as Milwaukee swept the defending champion Dodgers to claim its first National League pennant since 1982. The title extends UCLA’s run to three straight seasons with an alumnus on a World Series-winning team.

By the Numbers
  • Mitchell appeared in 145 games, batting .262 with 11 home runs, 65 RBIs, 74 runs and 14 stolen bases.
  • He was drafted No. 20 overall by Milwaukee in 2020.
  • Mitchell’s 2026 title follows Dodgers manager Dave Roberts’ championships in 2024 and 2025.
Yes, But

Mitchell’s biggest impact came before the World Series: his clutch homers helped Milwaukee reach the franchise’s first Fall Classic, while his regular-season numbers show a broader contribution across the lineup.

Bottom Line

Mitchell’s championship marks a milestone for Milwaukee and adds another chapter to UCLA’s growing legacy on baseball’s biggest stage.
