And, Puello hits the first batter of the game... (but followed it with a strike-out/throw-out double play)

Very classy to let him get to 10 years... quite an accomplishment. Davis is incredible defensively!!

Very classy to let him get to 10 years... quite an accomplishment. Davis is incredible defensively!!

In the final portion of this interview, Seth asks Joey Wiemer what he believes he does best and where he can improve. Wiemer speaks of how his goals are not stat-based but he has been frustrated with his defense early this season and plans to commit himself to working in the margins to improve his overall game.

He also had a terrific week at the plate for the Biloxi Shuckers. Campbell was the Brewers’ 19th round draft pick out of his North Carolina high school in 2017. He didn’t sign and instead, he went to the University of South Carolina for three years. He played in 97 games over his first two seasons. In 2020, he played in 14 games before Covid shut down the season. He went undrafted in the five-round draft that year, but like TJ Shook and Brandon Knarr, he agreed to sign with the Brewers as a non-drafted free agent for the $15,000 signing bonus allowed. Campbell made his pro debut and hit .270/.388/.387 (.775) with 21 doubles, two triples, and five home runs with the Carolina Mudcats in 2021. He also was 20-for-23 in stolen base attempts. He has spent the 2022 season at Double-A. In 27 games, he has hit .259/.362/.444 (.806) with seven doubles, a triple, and two home runs despite skipping the High-A level. He has had a couple of stints on the IL already this season. Last week, he played in five games for the Shuckers. He went 6-for-12 and hit .500/.571/1.083 (1.654) with a double, two home runs. He also walked twice. Campbell is a really good athlete with tremendous speed and a ton of potential. He played in the infield in college, and has played mostly in left field this year when healthy. Pitcher of the Week: LHP Brandon Knarr, Biloxi Shuckers Last week, our season-starting streak of Wisconsin starting pitchers to win this weekly award came to an end when a Timber Rattlers reliever was the selection. This week is the first time that a pitcher from another affiliate takes the award. This week’s winner is Biloxi Shucker left-hander Brandon Knarr. Knarr is no stranger to this award. He won it twice (and probably could have a few more times) when he was with Wisconsin. He made 10 starts for the Rattlers and went 7-2 with a 1.57 ERA. In 57 1/3 innings, he walked 13 and struck out 65 batters. Last week, Knarr earned his promotion to Double-A Biloxi and made his first start. He gave up one run on five hits over six innings in his start. He walked two and struck out eight batters. It has been a circuitous route to this point in Knarr’s baseball career. He originally went to college at Notre Dame. Then he went to the College of Central Florida for a season. In 2020 he went to the University of Tampa. He went undrafted and signed with the Brewers.

Seth continues the interview with top Brewers prospect Joey Wiemer, as they move on to his professional career after being drafted in the fourth round of the 2020 MLB Draft. The two talk about Wiemer's transition to professional ball and wood bats, his brief stint in the Arizona Fall League, and his approach at the plate. View full video

I really appreciate that. Thank you so much!

Not really related to the above portion of the interview, but would love to hear/read who you would like to be interviewed next, or the next 3 so I can work with PR staffs to make them happen.

Part 1 of 3 of my interview with Joey Wiemer.

Seth Stohs sits down with outfield prospect Joey Wiemer in part one of a three-part interview. Wiemer talks about high school sports, his decision to play college ball at Cincinnati, and the weirdness of being drafted in the COVID class of 2020. He also mentions some odd clothing choices in a photo Seth dug up somewhere... View full video

We have been covering four full-season Brewers affiliates for the past two months now. From this point until September, we will be covering eight Brewers affiliates across six leagues. On Monday, the short-season affiliates in Arizona and the Dominican Republic started their seasons. So be sure to continue checking back often for minor league reports. We’re essentially doubling the coverage! Image courtesy of Neal Hock We have been covering four full-season Brewers affiliates for the past two months now. From this point until September, we will be covering eight Brewers affiliates across six leagues. On Monday, the short-season affiliates in Arizona and the Dominican Republic started their seasons. So be sure to continue checking back often for minor league reports. We’re essentially doubling the coverage! In the past, the beginning of the short-season, rookie league season was right near the time of the MLB Draft. However, now that the draft has been pushed back to July, Opening Day of the short-season leagues came up in a hurry. On Monday, the Arizona Complex League and the Dominican Summer League seasons began. At Brewer Fanatic, we will be providing reports on those teams in our daily Minor League Reports. Below you can see how the four rookie-level Brewers affiliates played on Monday. It was a big week, so let’s get to the recaps and more. As always, feel free to discuss this report, the teams and players or more in the Comments.

Rodriguez, Abraham Almonte, Cam Robinson WEEK IN REVIEW Triple-A: Nashville Sounds Week: 1-4, @ Durham Season: 34-19 overall, 1st place in the International League West. They are 1 1/2 games ahead of Columbus and 3 1/2 games ahead of Memphis. . Nashville actually played Durham six times last week, but just five times during the past week since they played a game on Memorial Day Monday. It was a strange week for the Sounds as they actually struggled. In fact, on Wednesday they lost 4-17. The Sounds scored just 20 total runs in the five games. Mario Feliciano played three games. He went 4-for-11, hitting .364/.417/.545 (.962) with two doubles. Abraham Almonte went 6-for-16 and hit .375/.444/.500 (.944) with two doubles. Caleb Boushley went seven innings in his start to get a Win. He gave up two runs on three hits and three walks. Alec Bettinger gave up two runs on three hits over five innings in his start. Tyler Herb gave up two runs on three hits (two solo homers) in five innings in his start. He walked two batters, but he also struck out eight. On the other side, Josh Lindblom gave up seven runs on ten hits (4 HR) and three walks in five innings. Zach Vennaro gave up six runs on six hits and three walks in just two innings. Nick Bennett went just 2/3 of an inning and gave up six runs on two hits and four walks. What’s Next? The Sounds will be hosting Norfolk for six games. Pitching Probables (LHP Ethan Small, Tyler Herb, RHP Josh Lindblom, RHP Caleb Boushley, RHP Dylan File, LHP Ethan Small) Double-A: Biloxi Shuckers Week: 1-5, @ Pensacola Season: 23-26 overall, Tied for 2nd place, but percentage points behind Mississippi (24-27), 3 1/2 games behind Pensacola (25-21). Coming into the week, the Shuckers and Blue Wahoos were separated by percentage points atop the Southern League South Division. After a rough week in Pensacola, Biloxi is now 3 1/2 games behind Pensacola in the division. However, it is important to note that the team has several players out with injury. Joey Wiemer played in just one game. The Shuckers won the Thursday game 10-7. All five of Biloxi’s losses were by one run. Jakson Reetz played in all six games. He went 8-for-22 and hit .364/.517/.818 (1.335) with four doubles, two homers, and four RBI. Yeison Coca went 7-for-23 and hit .304/.407/.609 (1.016) with two doubles, a triple, a homer, five RBI, and four walks over six games. Tristen Lutz played in six games and went 7-for-24, hitting .292/.414/.583 (.987) with a double, two homers and seven RBI. He also walked four times. Cam Devanney went 6-for-23 and hit .261/.357/.565 (.922) with a double and two home runs over six games. Lucas Erceg struck out six batters over three scoreless innings. He gave up two hits and walked two batters. Luis Contreras tossed three scoreless innings in a relief appearance. He gave up no hits, but he walked three batters. What’s Next? The Shuckers will be hosting the Tennessee Cubs. They will be home in three of the next four weeks. . Pitching Probables (RHP JT Shook, LHP Brandon Knarr, RHP Noah Zavolas, RHP Carlos Luna, LHP Nick Bennett, TBD) High-A: Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Week: 3-3, hosting Peoria Season: 31-20 overall, 2nd place in the Midwest League West Division, 2.0 game behind Cedar Rapids. They are 3.0 games ahead of South Bend. The Timber Rattlers had a back-and-forth week against Peoria. In their three wins, they scored a combined 17 runs. In their three losses, they scored a combined two runs. In fact, they were shut out in consecutive games on Wednesday and Thursday. Despite the struggles, they held serve and lost just one game in the division. Cam Robinson went 2-for-2 in save opportunities last week. Over three scoreless innings, he gave up one hit, walked one and struck out four batters. Max Lazar made one start and gave up only an unearned run over four innings. He gave up four hits, walked one and struck out three batters. Joey Matulovich threw 4 1/3 scoreless innings over two relief outings. He gave up one hit, walked none and struck out two. Brandon Knarr gave up one run on three hits over six innings in his start. He struck out five batters and walked just one. What a week for Alex Hall. The Australian catcher was called up to the Brewers for the weekend to be the backup catcher. He didn’t play, but what an experience. He was also DFAd and returned to the Timber Rattlers. With Wisconsin, he went 3-for-7 (.429) with a homer and four RBI over just two games before the call-up. Ashton McGee played in all six games. He went 8-for-20 and hit ..400/.455/.650 (1.105) with two doubles and a homer. Tristen Peters went 7-for-22 over his six games. He hit .318/.375/.409 (.784) with two doubles. What’s Next? The Timber Rattlers will be staying in-state to play the affiliate formerly known as the Snappers. They’ll be playing in Beloit against the Sky Carp.

The 18-year-old from Venezuela had a great week. He had 11 hits in 25 at-bats. He hit .440/.462/.920 (1.382) with a double, a triple, and three home runs. In 28 games with the Mudcats since his promotion from the Complex, he has hit .371/.417/.595 (1.012) with 12 doubles, a triple, four homers and 25 RBI. Have I mentioned yet that he is 18-years-old? Chourio was signed as a shortstop in January 2021 from Venezuela for $1.9 million. He played in the Dominican Summer League last summer and hit .296/.386/.447 (.883) with seven doubles, a triple and five home runs. He is a tremendous athlete who has been playing mostly center field for the Mudcats. He’s got really good speed. He also has good bat-to-ball skills, and finds a way to find barrels and hit the ball really hard. He is incredibly young for the level. Pitcher of the Week: RHP Cam Robinson, Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Well, the streak of Timber Rattlers starting pitchers winning this award every week is over. However, the award stays in Appleton and goes to reliever Cam Robinson. Robinson pitched just three innings on the week, but he recorded saves in both of his outings. He struck out four batters without allowing a run. The Brewers used their 23rd round pick in 2017 to select the right-hander from University High School near Orlando. He spent most of 2017-2019 in the Arizona League. After the Covid-lost 2020 season, he split 2021 between Carolina and Wisconsin. In total, he pitched in 39 games out of the bullpen and went 3-2 with 13 saves. In 49 2/3 innings, he walked 30 and struck out 62 batters. He had a 3.08 ERA, but the walks pushed his WHIP to 1.59. He has now pitched in 17 games for the Timber Rattles this season and finished 16 games. He is 2-0 with 11 saves. In 25 innings, he has given up just 11 hits, walked 14 and struck out 33 batters. The walks are still plenty high, but his stuff has greatly improved and he’s become less hittable. Feel free to discuss the Brewers' prospects and their affiliates in the COMMENTS below.

The Brewers are in first place. Nashville is in first place. Double-A Biloxi is in first place by percentage points. Wisconsin split their series with Cedar Rapids to remain just one game behind. Carolina is in first place. Things are good. Find out more about another strong week in the Brewers farm system. Memorial Day was a day filled with transactions. The big-league club swept a doubleheader as two of their preseason top ten prospects made the starts. Ethan Small made his big-league debut in Game 1. Aaron Ashby struck out 12 batters in six innings in Game 2. Nashville played a rare Monday game in Durham. They wanted a Memorial Day game, so Dylan File took on Shane Baz, and the Sounds won again. They will have Tuesday off before continuing their series. It was a big week, so let’s get to the recaps and more. As always, feel free to discuss this report, the teams, and players or more in the Comments. TRANSACTIONS Monday was filled with transactions throughout the Brewers organization>Normally we would post them here, but since there was a Nashville game on Monday, there was a minor league report and transactions were covered nicely in there. RESULTS Last week’s Week in Review (5/17-5/23): Wisconsin Pitching and Wiemer Hitting Tuesday: Small Starts, Nashville and Carolina Win, Biloxi Postponed Wednesday: Mudcats Leap Into First Place; T-Rats Inch Closer Thursday: Wiemer - “Simply Addicted to Hitting Nukes” Friday: Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad Saturday: The Walk-off Wins Continue to Pile Up Sunday: Brewers’ Affiliates Achiever a 4-0 Sunday Sweep to Close Out the Week! Monday: Sounds Stay in Tune after Five-Run Eighth-Inning Rally Brewers Promoting Pitching Prospect Ethan Small WEEK IN REVIEW Triple-A: Nashville Sounds Week: 3-3, @ Toledo, 1-0, @ Durham (Monday) Season: 33-15 overall, 1st place in the International League West. They are 4 1/2 games ahead of Columbus and six games ahead of Memphis. The Sounds quickly became the first Triple-A team with 30 wins on Tuesday night. However, that was followed with their first three-game losing streak. However, they responded by winning the final two games of the series. Nashville did outscore Toledo 30-27 over the course of the week. There were a few minor league teams that played on Memorial Day, and Nashville was one of them. They beat Durham 7-5 in North Carolina. Ethan Small returned to the mound after a bout of illness and made the start on Tuesday. The lefty gave up one run on five hits over six innings. He struck out three batters. Of course, he got bumped from his Sunday start because he was promoted to the Brewers and made his MLB debut on Monday afternoon. Caleb Boushley tossed seven shutout innings in his start. He gave up just three hits, walked one and struck out four batters. Nashville is getting some length from their starters, at least some of the elder statesmen. Jason Alexander gave up two runs on four hits over seven innings. He had five strikeouts. The bullpen stalwart was Matt Hardy. He worked 5 1/3 innings over three games. He gave up no runs, two hits, walked three (though two were intentional) and struck out six batters. Andy Otero worked once in long-relief. He tossed 4 1/3 scoreless, hitless innings in his appearance. He walked three and struck out two batters. Zach Vennaro made his first Triple-A appearance. He tossed three scoreless innings. He gave up no hits, walked one and struck out three batters. Fair to say that Tyler Herb’s start didn’t go well. He was charged with nine runs (6 earned) on eight hits and two walks in just 2 2/3 innings. Abraham Almonte led the Sounds offense. He played in six games and went 7-for-24. He hit .292/.433/.875 (1.308) with two doubles, four homers, and eight RBI. He walked six times. Jonathan Davis played in six games. The outfielder went 8-for-25 and hit .320/.419/.560 (.979) with three doubles, a homer, and four RBI. Pablo Reyes went 7-for-25 over his six games played. He hit .280/.357/.520 (.877) with two homers and six RBI. What’s Next? The Sounds traveled to Durham and played a rare Monday game for Memorial Day. They will then have Tuesday off before playing the final five games of the series. Pitching Probables (RHP Tyler Herb, RHP Josh Lindblom, RHP Caleb Boushley, RHP Dylan File, TBD) Double-A: Biloxi Shuckers Week: 4-0, hosting Montgomery Season: 22-21 overall, percentage points (.512 to .511) ahead of Mississippi in the Southern League South Division with Mississippi. They are 1/2 game ahead of Pensacola. Tuesday’s game was postponed by Covid. Wednesday’s game was postponed by weather. Once they started playing games again, the Shuckers had a terrific showing. They won all four games and outscored the Biscuits 35-26 in the four games. The offense certainly showed up again! He only played twice, but Brent Diaz went 5-for-7 with two home runs and two walks, oh, and he was hit by a pitch too. Tristen Lutz went 4-for-16 and hit .250/.333/.500 (.833) with a double, a home run, and six RBI. He also walked twice. The Shuckers had only 39 hits, but they were helped by 23 walks. Seven Biloxi relievers combined to make 11 appearances and throw 16 innings with just one unearned run allowed. Nash Walters led the way. He struck out six batters over three scoreless, one-hit innings. Robbie Hitt gave up one walk and five strikeouts over 2 2/3 scoreless, hitless innings. What’s Next? The Shuckers will be traveling to Pensacola to take on the Blue Wahoos. Pitching Probables (RHP Lucas Erceg (opener), RHP Justin Bullock, RHP JT Shook, RHP Victor Castaneda, RHP Noah Zavolas, TBD) High-A: Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Week: 3-3, @ Cedar Rapids Season: 28-17 overall, 2nd place in the Midwest League West Division, 1.0 game behind Cedar Rapids. They are also one game ahead of South Bend. The Timber Rattlers were able to go on the road and split their six-game series against the division-leading Kernels, staying just one game behind. That is especially noteworthy when they were outscored 23-38 in the series. The Tuesday and Thursday losses were both blowouts (2-13 and 0-9) which accounted for that differential. Justin Jarvis had the best start of the week for Wisconsin. He struck out nine batters over 6 2/3 scoreless innings. He gave up two hits and walked two. Three Rattler relievers pitched twice and didn’t give up a run. Kent Hasler walked two and struck out six batters over 3 1/3 scoreless, hitless innings.

He went 10-for-23, hitting .435/.435/.913 (1.348) with three doubles, a triple, two home runs, and four RBI. Tristan Peters went 6-for-22 and hit .273/.385/.682 (1.067) in six games. He hit a double, a triple, two home runs, and drove in seven runs. He also walked four times and stole two bases. Tyler Black also went 6-for-22 over six games. He hit .273/.407/.545 (.952) with two homers. He walked five times and stole three bases. Wes Clarke had just four hits in 19 at-bats, but he had three triples and a home run. He also walked five times. The rest of the offense really struggled. Micah Bello posted an .828 OPS. No other Rattler hitter posted an OPS over .283. Joe Gray went 1-for-18 (.056 BA, .283 OPS). Zavier Warren went 1-for-20 (.050, .195). Darrien Miller went 1-for-16 (.063, .126). What’s Next? The Timber Rattlers return home to take on Peoria. Tickets are still available! Pitching Probables (RHP Justin Jarvis, LHP Russell Smith, LHP Brandon Knarr, LHP Antoine Kelly, RHP Ryne Moore, RHP Justin Jarvis) Low-A: Carolina Mudcats Week: 5-1, hosting Kannapolis Season: 26-19 overall, 1st place in the Carolina League North Division, 1 1/2 games ahead of Lynchburg and 2 1/2 games ahead of Fredericksburg It was a very good week for the Mudcats. Their offense helped them to three big wins in which they scored more than 10 runs However, they also won two one-run games. Overall, they outscored the Cannon Ballers 48-22. Plus, Mudcat fans got to watch Willy Adames rehab on Sunday. He went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run homer. They also handed out bobbleheads with his likeness. Hedbert Perez had a big week.

So well thought of, the Brewers added him to their 60-player pool and alternate site in 2020 as a 17-year-old. He played in 32 games for the Brewers Gold Arizona Complex team where he hit .333/.394/.575 (.969) with 11 and six doubles. He moved up to Low-A Carolina for the final 16 games. That is where the 19-year-old started the 2022 season. Last week, he went 9-for-19 (.474). He hit four doubles, one triple, and one home run. Overall, he is hitting .215/.271/.375 (.646) in 36 games. He is the son of former big-league outfielder Robert Perez. Also an outfielder, Perez stands just shy of 6’0” and 190 pounds. He is strong and has an advanced knowledge of the game. He’s got the tools. He’s got a nice, left-handed swing and continues to gain strength. He could develop plus-power. He’s got good speed and could probably play center field now, but his future is in the corner outfield. He can be good defensively, and he’s got an average arm. He’s a long way from the big leagues, but a 19-year-old having a big week in Low-A is very encouraging. Pitcher of the Week: RHP Justin Jarvis, Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Another week, another Timber Rattler starter wins the pitcher of the week honor. For the second straight week, the winner is Wisconsin right-hander Justin Jarvis. Against Cedar Rapids, the top team in the division, he held them to two hits and two walks over 6 2/3 scoreless innings. He ended the game with nine strikeouts. He has now made nine starts this season and is 3-2 with a 4.50 ERA. In 42 innings, he has walked 20 and struck out 43 batters. He started slow, but he has had three straight terrific starts over the past two weeks. Jarvis was the Brewers fifth-round pick in 2018 out of Lake Norman High School in North Carolina. In 2019, he pitched for then Low-A Wisconsin where he went 4-1 with a 3.50 ERA. After a lost 2020 season, Jarvis went 1-7 with a 5.40 ERA with nearly a strikeout per innings for now-High-A Wisconsin in 2021. He pitched in the Arizona Fall League after that season.

I am assuming that the fact that he got sick and missed a week probably played a role in it... Maybe... that and the walks.

Y'all, after covering the Twins minor leagues and prospects for the last 19 years, it has been so much fun to get to know and follow a second organization. I really look forward to seeing trends and comparing the organizations. Having now watched some games/video, read reports, talked to some people in the organization, I am excited to put together my first Brewers Top 20 Prospects ranking... subject to change semi-often as I learn more and watch more.

Agreed... but to me, there is a pretty clear Top 4, and he is definitely one of those four...

Right, and even if it was full at 40, it sure sounds like Peralta could be put on the 60-Day IL safely. It worked out for the Brewers. File got through waivers and stays in the organization, which is great... Just seems like a weird risk.
