2025 Brewers Minor League Roundup: Week 12

Triple-A Nashville (40-27)

The Sounds went 2-3 this week towards the Norfolk Tides. Nashville is now 13 video games above .500 and half a sport up within the Worldwide League West.

Pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski (Brewers’ No. 4) threw 5 no-hit innings in his main league debut. Miz ended up with 4 walks however appeared in management more often than not. He introduced his finest stuff, too. I don’t know the way you hit this:

Misiorowski got here again out for the sixth however appeared to roll his ankle after a 2-0 pitch to the Cardinals’ Victor Scott II. He wasn’t limping after the sport and, per Adam McCalvy, formally left as a result of proper calf and quad cramping. Miz is slated to start out once more on Wednesday, this time towards the Cubs, so hopefully that is the final time you examine him within the Minor League Roundup.

Logan Henderson (No. 12) went 5 1⁄3 innings, permitting 9 hits however only a single earned run. Nothing extra must be mentioned about Henderson. He’s confirmed he’s prepared for the majors. Hendo is simply within the minors at this level due to the pitching depth that the Brewers have.

Freddy Zamora put up probably the most spectacular slash line on the Sounds this week — .353/.389/.412. Zamora is hitting .295 on the season, albeit with nearly no energy to talk of. The 26-year-old center infielder, drafted within the second spherical in 2020, has simply seven doubles and a singular residence run this 12 months.

C/2B Anthony Seigler had a little bit of a down week for the primary time in over a month. The 25-year-old Seigler slashed .214/.389/.500 in 14 at-bats. He’s nonetheless hitting .299 on the season with seven residence runs, 28 RBIs and 17 stolen bases. Whereas Caleb Durbin continues to select up the tempo on the plate, the Brewers may nonetheless use some infield depth. As I’ve mentioned on this column every of the previous few weeks, Seigler has earned a shot within the majors.

One other potential depth possibility is Bobby Dalbec, who homered thrice on the week. The nook infielder/outfielder went 7-for-22 (.318) with a team-leading 5 RBIs. The 29-year-old Dalbec was a extremely ranked prospect at one level, so perhaps he can flip issues round with Nashville, a lot as Daz Cameron did earlier this season. Dalbec got here up as a 1B/3B, though he’s performed extra video games in proper discipline than at first or third since becoming a member of the Sounds. Which may be as a result of Nashville’s roster development versus an incapability to deal with the infield.

Jeferson Quero went 5-for-19 (.263) in his first full week again with Nashville. Quero suffered a labrum damage after only one plate look with the Sounds in 2024. The 22-year-old catcher, a stud defender, is the Brewers’ high prospect not named Jesus Made.

Quero can be a candidate for a call-up if he continues to play properly. William Contreras has reportedly been coping with a damaged finger, which has prompted his manufacturing on the plate to undergo in comparison with expectations. Eric Haase, as a lot as I really like him, isn’t going to dam the Brewers’ No. 2 general prospect.

Tyler Black (No. 7) went 1-for-11 in his first three video games with Nashville. Extra on Black subsequent week.

Lastly, Milwaukee acquired 1B Andrew Vaughn from the White Sox in alternate for RHP Aaron Civale. Vaughn will debut with the Sounds subsequent week. I wrote about how Vaughn may finally discover success with Milwaukee right here.

Waiting for subsequent week, Nashville will face off towards the Iowa Cubs in a six-game collection starting Tuesday.

Double-A Biloxi (38-25)

Biloxi cut up a six-game collection towards the Chattanooga Lookouts. The Shuckers now have a run differential of +71, which leads the Southern League by nearly 40 runs.

1B/3B Luke Adams (No. 9) went 5-for-22 with two extra residence runs. The 21-year-old Adams now sports activities a .924 OPS via 184 at-bats this season.

Brock Wilken (No. 18) additionally added a pair residence runs to his league-leading complete. In true Wilken trend, seven of his eight hits this week went for further bases. Wilken is hitting simply .224 on the season however continues to guide all of Double-A with 17 residence runs.

1B/3B Mike Boeve (No. 6) went 2-for-18 on the week. Each of his hits had been residence runs. He’s nonetheless slashing .245/.344/.409 since coming back from a proper labrum process.

Cooper Pratt (No. 3) had one other bounce-back week, going 6-for-14 on the plate. Pratt had been struggling — posting a line of .198/.286/.284 within the month of Could — however has clearly been seeing the ball higher in current weeks. Pratt is now hitting .310 within the month of June.

Luis Lara (No. 21) went 7-for-25 (.261) with a few doubles. Biloxi’s speedy centerfielder is just about a pure contact hitter and profiles as a defensive fourth outfielder sort within the majors. Lara is now hitting .253/.351/.336 with 22 stolen bases.

Coleman Crow impressed in his solely begin this week, going six innings (2 ER) with six strikeouts. Crow has notched 24 strikeouts in his final three begins (17 IP, 2 ER). The 24-year-old righty, a Twenty eighth-round decide of the Angels again in 2019, now sports activities a 2.51 ERA on the season. He was acquired for Adrian Houser and Tyrone Taylor final offseason. Nothing’s official but, however phrase on the road is we’ll be seeing him in Nashville subsequent week.

Brett Wichrowski (No. 13) had one of many funnier stat strains you’ll ever see in skilled baseball. Wichrowski allowed 9 hits and 10 runs in 5 2⁄3 IP, however solely a type of runs was earned. He made two appearances on the week, giving up six runs (one earned) throughout the first and 4 runs (none earned) within the second. His ERA is now all the way down to 2.76 in eight begins this season, though his WHIP has skyrocketed to 1.50.

Ok.C. Hunt (No. 24) gave up 4 earned runs in 5 2⁄3 innings. Hunt’s ERA is now as much as 4.53 on the season. The 24-year-old righty has alternated nice begins with mediocre ones as he continues to regulate to Double-A.

Lefty Tate Kuehner (2.61 ERA) went 5 innings with out permitting an earned run.

The Shuckers will tackle the Knoxville Smokies subsequent week in a six-game collection.

Excessive-A Wisconsin (33-30)

The Timber Rattlers went 4-2 this week towards the Nice Lakes Loons. Wisconsin is now heating up after a tough begin to the season, going 13-5 during the last three weeks.

Issues acquired somewhat chippy on this collection. Benches cleared after RHP Yerlin Rodriguez threw at Kendall George not as soon as, however twice. Fascinating, particularly as a result of there wasn’t a transparent incident that led as much as this. Rodriguez isn’t identified for his management, nevertheless it definitely appeared intentional to me. Decide for your self:

SS Jadher Areinamo (No. 23) went 11-for-23 (.458) this week. Arenaimo now has an OPS of .819 on the season. He’s been one in all Wisconsin’s finest hitters every of the final two seasons and must be a candidate for a call-up quickly, particularly with Jesus Made and Luis Peña behind him in Carolina.

First baseman Blake Burke (No. 16) went 4-for-18 (.222) on the week. Regardless of the down week, he’s been very spectacular this season. Burke leads the Timber Rattlers in batting common and on-base share (minimal 100 at-bats).

The rationale I needed to embrace the 100 at-bats caveat is C Marco Dinges, promoted a few weeks in the past from Single-A Carolina. Dinges is now hitting .333 in 80 at-bats in Excessive-A, with three residence runs and an .862 OPS. I anticipated to see a little bit of a studying curve for Dinges, a 2024 fourth-round decide who was named the Brewers’ April Minor League Participant of the Month with Single-A Carolina. Apparently, he doesn’t want one.

Twenty-two-year-old SS Eduardo Garcia went 5-for-18 with a house run. Garcia leads the Timber Rattlers in residence runs, with 11. He’s been persistently spectacular on the plate this season, slashing .277/.361/.509 with 29 extra-base hits.

Nineteen-year-old Juan Baez (No. 26) went 6-for-21. He’s nonetheless hitting .233 with a .577 OPS on the season, though his numbers during the last month look somewhat higher: .258/.333/.301 over 93 at-bats. Baez has no pop at this level — he solely has 5 extra-base hits (0 HR) all 12 months.

Tyson Hardin, the Brewers’ Minor League Pitcher of the Month for April, went 5 innings whereas permitting 4 runs (two runs). He’s had a pair down outings in a row, however the stats nonetheless look fairly nice: 2.34 ERA, 9.68 Ok/9, 1.4 BB/9. Hardin has but to permit a house run in 61 1⁄3 profession innings as knowledgeable.

Different pitching standouts this week for the Timber Rattlers: Ryan Birchard (7 IP, 1 ER, 8 Ok) and Jaron DeBerry (5 2⁄3 IP, 2 ER, 7 Ok).

Birchard’s had two spectacular outings in a row. He did stroll 9 batters, which is … lower than excellent. Birchard’s ERA is simply 4.01, however his profession BB/9 (6.75) makes 2023 Jacob Misiorowski appear like Greg Maddux.

Subsequent week, Wisconsin will face off towards the West Michigan Whitecaps in a six-game collection.

Single-A Carolina (35-26)

Carolina went 0-6 towards the Lynchburg Hillcats this week. The Mudcats are instantly 5 video games again of first within the Carolina League, though they continue to be 9 video games over .500.

That is your weekly reminder to discover a technique to watch a Mudcats sport (free to observe on Bally Sports activities’ web site). They’re younger, function a ton of the Brewers’ high-ceiling and top-ranked prospects, and put up runs. Carolina severely may be one of the crucial stacked Brewers associates ever.

Jesús Made, now ranked because the Brewers’ No. 1 prospect per MLB Pipeline, slashed .318/.444/.500 due to course he did. These of you who learn this column often already know the way particular of a prospect Made is. Numbers like which can be anticipated at this level.

The 18-year-old shortstop has been hitting to all fields, hitting for energy, and enjoying nice protection. Milwaukee would possibly need to see what he can do in Excessive-A someday earlier than the tip of the season.

Infield prospect Luis Peña (No. 5) put up a .292/.320/.417 line, together with his sixth residence run of the 12 months. Peña now has an .876 OPS on the season. He’d be the highest infield prospect in most organizations. The Brewers are blessed to have him, Pratt, and Made in the identical farm system.

Nineteen-year-old SS/3B Filippo Di Turi isn’t presently ranked, however he most likely must be. Di Turi went 6-for-22 (.273) on the week. He’s been a constant supply of offense for the Mudcats, with an .801 OPS and eight residence runs on the 12 months.

Put merely, Carolina had the roughest week of their season towards the league-leading Hillcats. Aside from Made, Peña, and Di Turi, no Mudcat hit over .150. Braylon Payne (No. 10) hit a house run however struck out 12 instances in 21 at-bats. This was an excessive outlier week for many of Carolina’s gamers, so not quite a bit to investigate on the whole.

Carolina will face the Columbia Fireflies subsequent week.

Participant of the Week

Marco Dinges. I already mentioned most of what I wished to say about Dinges up within the Timber Rattlers’ portion of the column, however — to reiterate — he’s been insanely spectacular. Dinges, drafted within the fourth spherical of the 2024 draft, has executed nothing however rake in A-ball. He was hitting .353 with a 1.076 OPS in 85 at-bats with Single-A Carolina. He’s 80 at-bats into his time with Wisconsin and the numbers have hardly even dropped off — .325 batting common, .862 OPS. The Crew have already got William Contreras and Jeferson Quero, however be careful: Dinges is coming.
