To acquire Carlos Gómez and Mike Fiers from the Milwaukee Brewers on July 30, 2015, the Astros exchanged Hader, Brett Phillips, Dominic Santana, and Adrian Houser.
The Milwaukee Brewers sent Hader to the Class AA Southern League’s Biloxi Shuckers. He had a cumulative ERA of 3.03 at the end of the season.
His invitation to spring training was extended by the Brewers in 2016. Hader began the 2016 season with Biloxi and made his Class AAA Pacific Coast League debut on June 12 with the Colorado Springs Sky Sox.
A spot in the 2016 All-Star Futures Game has been reserved for him. After the season, the Brewers signed him to a 40-man roster spot.
Colorado Springs was Hader’s first team of 2017. In the middle of June, the Milwaukee Brewers promoted him to the majors. On June 10, he made his major league debut.
He began 2018 with the Brewers’ relief staff in Milwaukee’s pen. Hader made history on April 30 by being the first pitcher to achieve eight strikeouts in less than three innings in the history of the sport.
A two-plus-two-thirds inning save against the Cincinnati Reds saw him face nine hitters, striking out eight and walking one. Hader was selected for the 2018 MLB All-Star Game after posting a 1.21 ERA and 83 strikeouts in 44 innings.
Hader appeared in the eighth inning of the 2018 All-Star Game. Shin-Soo Choo of the Rangers and George Springer of the Astros both blasted home runs during his debut, which gave American All-Stars a 5–2 lead.
On 26 pitches, Hader surrendered four hits and one out to the Boston Red Sox’s Mitch Moreland before being replaced.
