The Milwaukee Brewers have seen some exciting prospects come through their farm system over the past few seasons. One of their minor league affiliates, the Carolina Mudcats, has played a big role in hosting and developing some of those players.
This year has been no different for the Mudcats as the Brewers ninth ranked prospect Cooper Pratt, 10th ranked prospect Yophery Rodriguez, 12 ranked prospect Josh Knoth, and several others have all been assigned to Single-A to begin the year. Here we will take a look at three prospects who are scorching hot to begin the 2024 season.
Three Milwaukee Brewers prospects on the Carolina Mudcats who are scorching hot to begin the 2024 season.

Brewers prospect #1: INF Juan Baez
Of the prospects mentioned in this article, Juan Baez is the only one ranked in the Brewers top 30. Baez, an 18 year old who signed out of the Dominican Republic, is currently ranked 23rd. He got his feet wet in Single-A last year and is off to a tremendous start this year. Through his first 10 games he has a .304/.385/.413 slash line with 14 hits over 11 games.
Brewers prospect #2: 1B Tayden Hall

Hall was drafted in the ninth round of the 2022 MLB draft by the Brewers and appeared in 49 games with the Mudcats a season ago. During that time he slashed .266/.406/.375. This absurd slash line was due to drawing 40 free passes and impressively striking out just 41 times. To begin the 2024 season the 21 year old is hitting the ball well and he has a .394/.545/.515 slash line with 11 walks in a dozen games.
Brewers prospect #3: OF Kay-Lan Nicasia

In 2021 Milwaukee drafted Kay-Lan Nicasia as a 16th round pick from a Florida High School. The now 22 year old switch hitter didn’t perform well his first three years in the minor leagues, but this could be his breakout year. Across 38 at-bats he has hit a team leading three home runs and also has four stolen bases.
The performances of all of the above mentioned players and others have gotten the Carolina Mudcats off to a tremendous 10-2 start. Hopefully the team and player success continues as the year progresses.
