Career

Bettinger attended Hylton High School in Woodbridge, Virginia and played college baseball at the University of Virginia. He was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 10th round of the 2017 MLB Draft.[1][2] Bettinger made his professional debut with the rookie ball Helena Brewers. He split the 2018 season between the Single-A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers and the High-A Carolina Mudcats, accumulating a 6–10 record and 5.22 ERA in 25 games. In 2019, Bettinger spent the season in Double-A with the Biloxi Shuckers, pitching to a 5–7 record and 3.44 ERA with 157 strikeouts in 146.1 innings of work.[3]

Bettinger did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the Minor League Baseball season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] The Brewers added him to their 40-man roster after the 2020 season.[5]

On April 29, 2021, Bettinger was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[6] Bettinger made his MLB debut on May 2 as the starting pitcher against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but took the loss as he allowed 11 runs in four innings, including grand slams in each of the first two innings, by A. J. Pollock and Matt Beaty.[7]
