Most fans of the Brewers are familiar with the names of the top outfield prospects in the organization.  A few names include Jackson Chourio, Sal Frelick, Garrett Mitchell, Joey Wiemer, and Hedbert Perez.  At 19 years old, Jace Avina is an outfield prospect who is quickly on the rise. Avina was drafted in the 14th round of the 2021 MLB draft.  He currently is not on the Brewers top 30 prospect list, but after a strong performance this summer in the ACL league he was promoted to Low-A Carolina.  On Saturday night he made his debut and crushed a pair…

On Monday the Brewers stunningly traded All-Star closer Josh Hader to the Padres.  They also made another deal with the Rangers to bring in Matt Bush.  On Tuesday, the day of the MLB trade deadline, the Brewers elected to trade for relief pitcher Trevor Rosenthal. Rosenthal, who has not pitched since 2020 while recovering from a torn hip labrum and undergoing a procedure for thoracic outlet syndrome, recently threw a showcase.  At the showcase his fastball (sinker) average was 95.6 MPH.  This was a slight decline from his 97.9 MPH in 2020.  However, during the showcase his vertical movement was…

The MLB trade deadline is a crazy time.  On Monday, the Milwaukee Brewers made two separate trades.  Both deals have an immediate impact on the current bullpen.  Here we will take a look at the Brewers final grade after both of monday’s trades. The first trade was a shocking one in which Josh Hader was sent to the San Diego Padres in return for Taylor Rodgers, Dinelson Lamet, Robert Gasser and Esteury Ruiz.  A second trade with the Texas Rangers brought in Matt Bush in exchange for Mark Mathias and Antoine Kelly. Of the players coming to Milwaukee, Robert Gasser…

Last season, the San Francisco Giants exceeded expectations and won 107 games.  Offensively they were known for their power, but they also had one of the best overall pitching staffs that year.  A big part of their bullpen was left-hander Jake McGee. After having an extredorinary 2020 season with the Los Angels Dodgers, Jake McGee decided to stay in the National League West and signed with the Giants.  In 2021, he was their closer and converted on 31 of 36 save opportunities.  Over 62 appearnces, he finished the year with a 2.72 ERA. Unfortunately, 2022 has been Mcgee’s worst statistical…

The 2022 MLB draft has officially come to an end.  Players that were undrafted can still be signed by teams, but in this article we will highlight a few of the Brewers 21 selections. Interestingly, the Brewers did not draft an outfielder in this year’s draft.  That doesn’t mean that they eventually won’t transition out from their drafted position to the outfield, but it is something worth noting.  Overall, the team selected six infielders, four catchers, and 11 pitchers.  Two of the pitchers drafted are left-handed and they selected one switch-handed pitcher in Jurrangelo Cijntje.

The 2022 MLB draft is underway.  In the first round a lot of college players fell and the Brewers had plenty of pitching and hitting options to choose from.  They ended up selecting shortstop Eric Brown Jr with the 27th pick. 1 (27): @Brewers select Coastal Carolina (SC) SS Eric Brown Jr. https://t.co/aT1FhvDPMW #MLBDraft — MLB Draft Tracker (@MLBDraftTracker) July 18, 2022 Eric Brown Jr played college baseball at Coastal Carolina University.  He was ranked 63rd on MLB’s draft board, but is one of the top shortstops in the draft.  His biggest strength is his defense.  Offensively, he makes very…

Burnes may have decided not to pitch because he likely will…

The 2022 MLB draft is rapidly approaching.  This year the Milwaukee Brewers have the 27th pick in the first round.  Earlier we took a look at three pitchers who could be selected with the first pick.  In this article, we will profile three position players who could be the teams first round draft pick. In the last two drafts, the Brewers have selected college outfielders in the first round.  Garrett Mitchell was drafted in 2020 and Sal Frelick in 2021.  Teams typically don’t tend to draft for positions of need, but with ascension of outfield prospects Joey Wiemer and Jackson Chourio…

Since joining the Milwaukee Brewers last May, Willy Adames has been crushing the baseball.  Over this timeframe he has hit 38 home runs, which is the most among shortstops. In 2022 alone, he has 18 home runs.  This is currently the most among National League shortstops.  It also ties him with a franchise record for the most amount of home runs prior to the All-Star break by a Brewers shortstop.  This was previously set by J.J. Hardy in 2007. In 2007, J.J. Hardy hit 18 long balls prior to the All-Star break.  He ended up getting the honor of playing…

In this year’s draft, there is not a lot of elite level pitching depth.  During the college baseball season a…
