Brewers Send 5-Word Christian Yelich Message After Rockies Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Milwaukee Brewers designated hitter Christian Yelich is in his thirteenth major-league season after making his debut in 2013 at age 21.
Originally selected in the first round of the 2010 MLB Draft by the Marlins, he spent five seasons in Miami before an offseason trade sent him to Milwaukee ahead of the 2018 campaign.
In Milwaukee he immediately elevated his game—batting .326 with 36 homers and 110 RBIs on his way to NL MVP honors in 2018—and transitioned that success into his current nine-year, $215 million contract that includes a mutual option for 2029. Yelich has said repeatedly he wants to finish his career in Milwaukee and his contract is indicative of that.
During Friday’s 10-6 win against the Colorado Rockies, Yelich extended his hitting streak to ten games, collecting 19 hits—including eight extra-base knocks—and 17 RBIs over that span as Milwaukee has surged to a 7–3 record over those contests.
The team’s official X account congratulated Yelich and wrote, “This guy is a MACHINE.”

Since joining the Brew Crew, Yelich has been named an All-Star three times (2018, 2019, 2024) and claimed a Gold Glove in left field before his transition to designated hitter.
Over his career, Yelich has a lifetime .286 batting average, accumulating 219 home runs and 805 RBIs in 1,543 games.
He has led the Brewers to six postseason appearances out of his seven Milwaukee seasons, but is still searching for his first National League pennant, falling just a game short in 2018. As Milwaukee eyes another October run, Yelich’s bat and clubhouse leadership will once again be pivotal to the team’s success.
