I'm going to guess Garrett Mitchell. And I agree. If he can manage to stay healthy, he's got a big season ahead.

Bingo. Elite bad speed, good chase rate (17.6%), good walk % (11.2%), really good defense in centerfield, burner on the bases. He even was working with driveline to fix the hole in his swing at the top of the zone. Like you said he just has to stay healthy. Please baseball gods!

I've said it a few times Mitchell has 30/30 potential with a gold glove ability. It may take a couple fully healthy years to meet that potential but there is a dude there.

I also want to add that though he didn't have enough competitive swings to meet the minimum 200 swing threshold you used, Oliver Dunn had an average bat speed of 75.2 and a 92nd percentile sprint speed. Feel like many fans don't realize he's as tooled up as he is. Like Mitchell he also had a very elite chase rate and graded out very well defensively at 3B in his limited sample last year. Dunn has contact issues like Mitchell but he's a potential breakout candidate as well if he can up the contact rate.

Great point with Dunn he is very under the radar as well. I am much higher on Dunn than I am on Durbin, but would've preferred a proven 3B option in the mix as well.

Mitchell with another double………Jorge Alfaro hit one over the batters eye in center……what a bomb.

Umps having a rough day…….2 plays the brewers would have gotten overturned if challenge was available 

[markedman5]

Ashby struggled with his command for 2nd straight outing 

[Matt]

Elvin Rodriguez looks good.

Ashby is Manny Parra 2.0. Gonna be a long time before I trust him to throw strikes when he needs to. 

[Underachiever]

Stripling is not missing many bats today. 5 spot with two homers. 10-4 good guys.

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Great piece of inside out hitting by Yophery. For some reason he goes under the radar when people are talking about Brewers prospects. Lot of projection left in that body and he was not overwhelmed by much more advanced competition last year. He held his own. Still like him a lot going forward.

Adamczewski is FUN. I think he could be in for a big year as well. He torched rookie ball and low A last year, Excited to see both these cats in Appleton.

First time seeing Adamczewski swing live... I expect him to have a good season. 

I see Jake Cronenworth as a good comp for him if all goes well developmentally.

Welcome to the Board! And welcome to my Josh Adamczewski Fan Club. Those who know, know: that swing and that stick don't grow on trees. What a moment!

Another nice outing from Henderson

[Joseph Zarr]

My goodness.

The sound of thunder. Thank you, Spencer.

How excited are we over Logan Henderson? He's gonna be making an impact in Milwaukee soon.

[snoogans8056]

Logan Henderson looks like our best pitcher.

Let him work on the offspeed stuff in AAA all year and get on some prospects lists so we get a draft pick from his ROTY next year.

[markedman5]

Ernesto 2-2

[snoogans8056]

Martinez hits the ball so dang hard.

I'll feel much better about him when he really nails down that slider and cutter.

[sveumrules]

Some Logan Henderson fun facts. There are 441 pitchers with at least 150 IP in the minor leagues the last two years. Here are some of his ranks among that group...

34.0 K% (1st) | 27.3 K-BB% (1st) | 0.94 WHIP (2nd) | 3.08 xFIP (5th) | 5.12 K/BB (8th) | .191 AVG (9th) | 78.0 LOB% (18th) |  3.04 ERA (23rd) | 6.6 BB% (46th) | 3.53 FIP (54th)

Mitchell with a double now after an HR, gotta keep that guy healthy. BEAST MODE! 

He is going to have a huge season this year if he stays upright.    The guy is stepping into superstar level in 2025.   I cannot wait to see him play this season.

Oliver has a worse chase rate than Mitchell has the potential for.  I agree with everything else you said about him though.    Dunn is as much of a weapon as Mitchell and has had the same struggles with healthy as Mitchell has.    They are comparable with Mitchell in the lead by a leg.    I think Dunn has need of one more year in AAA but need puts him up earlier with the chance for struggle while Mitchell is on the cusp of Mega stardom.         Dunn can help us in 2025 .Mitchell can lead us.   That is the difference I see. They both need to prove they can stay healthy above all things to get where they belong in baseball.

He looks like a better hitter than we could have hoped.  POWER . The sound off his bat hits harder than the sound off Contreras bat.   He might have the most solid power on the team. I am seeing him swing hard for the first time in reality and it impresses me.   Sign me up for more of that!
