Key Things to Know

Nick San Miguel argues Kyle Harrison's Brewers playoff role mirrors Tim Lincecum's 2014 postseason with the Giants.
Harrison has yet to throw a pitch for Milwaukee during their run to the World Series.
Lincecum was largely an afterthought in 2014, pitching only 1.2 mop-up innings in Game 2.

The Story in 60 Seconds

Writer Nick San Miguel compares Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Kyle Harrison's postseason role to Tim Lincecum's usage with the San Francisco Giants during the 2014 playoffs. With Milwaukee reaching the World Series, Harrison has remained on the roster but has not pitched a single inning in the postseason following a season disrupted by injuries.

San Miguel notes that Lincecum similarly pitched just mop-up innings in 2014 after struggling during the regular season. The writer suggests that while the 25-year-old Harrison could still provide bulk innings if necessary, simply absorbing the postseason atmosphere offers valuable experience for his future career.
