"Weigel, 31, made four big league appearances a few years ago. One of those came with Atlanta in 2020 and three with Milwaukee in 2021. Put together, he allowed four earned runs in 4 2/3 innings via six hits, seven walks and one hit-by-pitch while striking out nine opponents. The Brewers outrighted him off the roster in 2021. Since then, he has been bouncing around professional baseball by playing in the minor leagues, indy ball and the Mexican League."
"He spent 2025 with the Nationals on a minor league deal, tossing 33 2/3 innings out of their Triple-A bullpen. He threw his slider 62.2% of the time, followed by his sinker at 27% and a changeup at just a 0.5% clip. There's no doubting that his 8.29 earned run average was poor but there were some more encouraging things under the hood. He struck out a strong 29.3% of batters faced."
Patrick Weigel, 31, agreed to a minor league deal with the Colorado Rockies. He made four major-league appearances in 2020–2021, allowing four earned runs in 4 2/3 innings while recording nine strikeouts. The Brewers outrighted him in 2021, and he subsequently pitched in the minors, independent leagues and the Mexican League. In 2025 he tossed 33 2/3 Triple-A innings with the Nationals' organization, heavily using a slider and sinker. His 8.29 ERA was high, but he posted a 29.3% strikeout rate alongside a 10.3% walk rate, elevated BABIP and strand-rate issues. The Rockies have added multiple non-roster arms amid significant pitching needs.
