On anything down and anything on the outer part of the plate, he's perhaps the most grounder-prone hitter in baseball, and even when he turns on a ball inside or...3075Thu, 20 Feb 2025 00:10:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/make-or-break-players-on-the-2025-milwaukee-brewers-sal-frelick-r3068/What Went Wrong in 2024? After 747 major-league plate appearances, I think we have enough data to describe Sal Frelick fairly accurately—with numbers to back it up. Defensively, he’s stellar. He won a Gold Glove for his efforts in the outfield last season, accumulating a combined 15 Defensive...3068Wed, 19 Feb 2025 16:31:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/can-a-dark-horse-push-aside-tyler-black-and-jake-bauers-for-backup-brewers-first-baseman-r3074/Ernesto Martinez Jr. hasn’t popped up on many prospect lists. He’s taken some time to live up to the potential in his frame, since signing with the Brewers out of his native Cuba. He passed through the Rule 5 Draft, unselected.

With spring training now in full swing, the answer is in: they didn't—at least, not externally. Adames launched a career-best 32 home runs last year, in 688...3069Tue, 18 Feb 2025 12:42:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/sal-frelick-says-hes-in-the-best-shape-of-his-life-is-that-a-good-thing-r3066/Sal Frelick finished last season at just 167 pounds. It’s completely normal for players' weights to decrease throughout a season (due to fluid loss, dietary variations, their movement within games and other factors), but that seems incredibly light for someone of his build.

Can he still be a major contributor for the Brewers? Let’s take a longer look at the state of Tyler Black as spring training starts for the 2025 Brewers. What Went Wrong In 2024? The short version is that Tyler Blac...3057Mon, 17 Feb 2025 15:09:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-both-sides-could-find-value-in-a-brice-turang-brewers-extension-r3064/His first full, uninterrupted big-league season set Brice Turang up to make some real money in MLB. The son of ex-player Brian Turang, Brice signed for $3.41 million out of high school in 2018, so his family is hardly hurting for money.
