The most recent one backs Megill\u2019s stated rationale.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Early in the season, Megill would mostly toss balls away after missing the zone or a bad call. For instance, the very first one of the season came on March 29 after a 2-2 pitch in the zone was called a ball. The next day, he missed on another 2-2 pitch, got the ball back from William Contreras and spiked it into the grass near the mound.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_x__c gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Through June 16, most of Megill\u2019s throwaways followed a ball.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">On June 22, something changed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Cincinnati catcher Tyler Stephenson called time in a 2-2 count. Megill watched, waiting until Stephenson was ready to step back in against him. And when he did, Megill stepped off the mound and struck the Brewers version of the Statue of Liberty pose, flaming torch exchanged for an unwanted piece of cowhide.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Megill had done this before, but this game set off a new fervor for pettiness. The following evening, he tossed out three balls in the same at-bat against Edwin Arroyo, including one following a batter timeout call.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Since that game, Megill has only tossed out one baseball following a called ball and without a timeout taken. He hasn\u2019t done it since June 26.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_hf\" aria-label=\"Embedded content: https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/cyrtvids.bsky.social\/post\/3msta4dqlcs2o\" data-t-cel=\"Bluesky Social-hb64\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-type=\"method\" data-gl-method=\"loadHb64\" style=\"width:600px\" data-gl-hb64=\"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\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Instead, he\u2019s just waiting for hitters to step out on him.\u00a0The game will be played on his timing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cWhenever they step back in, I call timeout,\u201d Megill said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">His right hand goes up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201c\u2018Here\u2019s your ball.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Within the phylum of Megill disposals are the various class types. There is the overhand toss \u2013 a simple flick toward the ball boy. The underhand toss, which is a rarity. The bowl. And, of course, the most common variation: The spike.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_hf\" aria-label=\"Embedded content: https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/cyrtvids.bsky.social\/post\/3mri4utdivc2i\" data-t-cel=\"Bluesky Social-hb64\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-type=\"method\" data-gl-method=\"loadHb64\" style=\"width:600px\" data-gl-hb64=\"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\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Of Megill\u2019s 46 jettisons this year, 36 were directly caught on the home broadcast cameras. Eighteen \u2013 50% \u2013 of those were spikes, each one discarded with disgust to leave no doubt as to Megill\u2019s exact emotion at that moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Ten times Megill tossed a ball he had <em>just<\/em> received.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_x__c gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">This, in a nutshell, is the kind of competitor Megill is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;That&#8217;s just Trev being Trev,&#8221; Patrick said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Most importantly, Megill&#8217;s strategy (if you can call it that) seems to work. When chucking a freshly requested pearl, Megill has struck out eight hitters compared to only two hits allowed. He&#8217;s also recorded nine outs on balls in play, six called or swinging strikes and only 11 balls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">If you consider any out or strike to be a win for the pitcher, more than three-quarters (78%) of Megill&#8217;s pitches immediately following a toss-out have led to a positive outcome.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Perhaps, after all, there&#8217;s a method to the closer&#8217;s madness after all. Just don&#8217;t expect him to tell you there is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;No rhyme or reason,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Just tossing balls.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"gnt_em gnt_em__lp gnt_em_gl gnt_em__el\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jsonline.com\/picture-gallery\/sports\/mlb\/brewers\/2025\/05\/14\/milwaukee-brewers-pitcher-trevor-megill-photos\/83607289007\/\" data-t-l=\"\u2691g:l|l|c|view gallery:inline promo\" aria-label=\"View Gallery - Best of Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Trevor Megill, an All-Star closer in 2025\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"gnt_em_gl_i\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.jsonline.com\/gcdn\/authoring\/authoring-images\/2024\/07\/21\/PMJS\/74487432007-getty-2162240982.jpg?crop=2316,1303,x0,y0&amp;width=660&amp;height=372&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp\" data-gl-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jsonline.com\/gcdn\/authoring\/authoring-images\/2024\/07\/21\/PMJS\/74487432007-getty-2162240982.jpg?crop=2316,https:\/\/www.jsonline.com\/1303,https:\/\/www.jsonline.com\/x0,https:\/\/www.jsonline.com\/y0&amp;width=1320&amp;height=744&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp 2x\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"372\"\/><svg class=\"gnt_em_gl_i_svg\"><use xlink:href=\"#gnt_svg_camera\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Updated Aug. 12, 2026, 10:45 a.m. CT Trevor Megill is known around the Milwaukee Brewers clubhouse for a few different reasons.
