In four seasons he has accumulated 3.6 bWAR over just 509 plate appearances, including 22 homers, the equivalent to some of a full season. He had one bad season in 2021 (his BABIP dropped almost...70Fri, 24 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/69-tyrone-taylor-the-deep-dive-part-2/ Offense - Strengths   So again, I’ll start with something slightly out of the blue... despite producing only three stolen bases in 2022, Taylor had 1.2 run value added for his base running, a significant improvement on previous seasons, perhaps indicating a real intelligence on going fir...69Fri, 17 Mar 2023 00:06:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/68-tyrone-taylor-the-deep-dive-part-1/Despite his injury, I thought I'd take a glance as to why we can look forward to Taylor's return. So without further ado; Taylor, despite being at times one of the top Brewers prospects, has always come across as a bit of a “meh” player, and understandably so. He has a bunch of tools that are...68Fri, 10 Mar 2023 14:37:53 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/60-prospect-comparison-part-three-garrett-mitchell-vs-harrison-bader/Garrett Mitchell, due to his high strikeout profile, high speed and his potential raw power is a very difficult player to compare, as most players would fail in the big leagues with this skill set. However the speed he has allows him to beat the infield with regularity, steal bases and provide such...60Fri, 03 Mar 2023 17:03:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/64-luis-urias-the-deep-dive/Luis Urias has been a polarising figure for many Brewers fans, probably due to a differentiation in what people expect from the hot corner (a fact made worse with Nolan Arenado in the same division) and what is regularly produced by the position It should be noted that fangraphs estimates his value...64Thu, 23 Feb 2023 10:35:07 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/63-prospect-comparison-part-two-aaron-judge-vs-joey-wiemer/This is a big statement, I know, but hear me out on this one, and you might find the two are a lot more similar that you’d originally think. In terms profile of the player profiles, they are remarkably similar, both very tall players with access to huge raw power, a surprisingly advanced hit t...63Fri, 17 Feb 2023 11:43:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/58-willy-adames-the-deep-dive/For the second instalment in this series, let's delve a little into Willy Adames underlying numbers, to try and see where he's been developing, and where there is growth still to come:   2021 When he first joined the Brewers in 2021, Adames posted a .285/.366/.521 for an .887 OPS, cr...58Tue, 14 Feb 2023 10:21:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/59-prospect-comparison-part-one-sal-frelick-vs-steven-kwan/Based on many recent comments about Steven Kwan being similar to Sal Frelick and him being a five WAR player last year, I decided to look into how comparable the two are as prospects. Steven Kwan's 2022 Season The most obvious reason for this comparison is that Frelick and Kwan are exception...59Wed, 08 Feb 2023 16:04:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/56-christian-yelich-the-deep-dive/As I am sure few would argue, Christian Yelich has demonstrated one of the highest ceilings in franchise history. However, despite the disappointment of the last few years, it's important to pick out why he's been struggling. First off, let's dive into what the stats say has changed for Yelich...56Mon, 30 Jan 2023 20:02:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/55-william-contreras-the-deep-dive/This time around, let's take a quick dive into William Contreras, his historical hitting, and how he has the potential to be a premier hitter for the Brewers. Development The blockbuster trade to acquire Contreras has undoubtedly been the Brewers' biggest move this off-season due to his A...55Wed, 25 Jan 2023 16:18:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/53-the-quest-for-an-800-ops-hitter-part-two-jesse-winker/For part two of this series, I'm going to focus a little on Jesse Winker, particularly his injury history. Historically, despite regular injuries throughout his carer, Jesse Winker has a career slash line of .270/.374/.463, with several healthier seasons comfortably above .900 OPS. He has stru...53Thu, 19 Jan 2023 10:41:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/52-the-quest-for-an-800-ops-hitter-part-one-rowdy-tellez/So I was thinking recently about the number of quality batters required by teams who succeed in the playoffs, and how the Brewers compare and had a brief look into the stats. Taking an .800+ OPS as a good barometer, the Brewers had one hitter last year who passed this mark (Hunter Renfroe, now gone...52Wed, 18 Jan 2023 11:00:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/51-how-the-dodgers-develop-so-many-good-players/According to a recent poll conducted by MLB, the Dodgers have one of the top three farm systems in all of baseball, and honestly that should be a shock given the picks they've been getting (and perhaps a relief that they haven't had the top of the draft picks to work with, or we would maybe see mul...51Tue, 17 Jan 2023 15:32:00 +0000
