In the latter half of this video clip, VP of Domestic Scouting Tod Johnson discusses whether 13th round LHP Joey Broughton will choose to complete his rehab with the Brewers or go on to college. Broughton did not pitch in his senior high school season. From this article, linked in full here, which actually references Brewer Fanatic: "Although he didn’t throw a single pitch during Northville’s first-ever state championship season that ended in dramatic fashion in mid-June, left-handed flame-thrower Joey Broughton showed enough stuff during his first three seasons — and during high-level summer competition — to draw the attention of the Milwaukee Brewers. Broughton was selected by Milwaukee in the 13th round with the 395th pick in this week’s MLB Draft. An arm injury prevented the 6-foot-2, 197-pound standout from stepping on the mound this spring, but when he did return for the final third of the 2024, Broughton was one of the Mustangs’ best hitters. NOTE: Curt Hogg of the J-S indicates it was an elbow injury within his coverage. Arguably, Broughton’s biggest hit was a two-run home run that broke a scoreless tie against Novi in a Division 1 district championship game on June 1. “This feels awesome because I’ve worked super hard to be able to get back on the field and to contribute, even though it’s not pitching,” Broughton said following the Mustangs’ 3-1 triumph. “A lot of hard work paid off and I’m so happy to be back.” Broughton joined teammate Dante’ Nori as Mustang draftees — a rare feat for any high school, let alone a public school that draws its players from within its district’s borders."

Talk about a snakebit season, veteran big-league infielder Christian Arroyo still has not seen action in Maryvale since exiting after a HBP in his first rehab plate appearance back on Saturday.

Cabrera, a Dominican native, had yet to pitch in 2024 in what would have been his age 20 season. He was not on a formal injury list. Though his name doesn't pop into our memories (at least for most), Cabrera saw regular action in the Dominican Summer League (Team #1) in both 2022 and 2023. He was part of the July 2021 international class, the last class to be signed in mid-July as opposed to the now-January period. As you'll see via his player page above, Cabrera was not a strikeout pitcher, particularly last summer, but fashioned a reasonable 1.23 WHIP in his 60.1 innings. Cabrera actually ended his pro career in style as it turns out (box score). He pitched five scoreless innings, allowing only a walk and a single, in defeating a powerful 35-15 Dodgers team last August 16th. Cabrera is the only "Jesael" to have played professional baseball. Here's to wishing him well as he approaches his 21st birthday in October.
