Triple-A Nashville (44-29)

The Sounds went 4-2 this week against the Iowa Cubs. Nashville is now 15 games above .500 and 2.5 games up in the International League West.

Tobias Myers went 11 innings over two starts, allowing eight hits but zero earned runs. He also struck out 10. Myers has a 3.11 ERA in nine starts with Nashville this season.

Logan Henderson (No. 12) had his roughest start in a while. Hendo gave up two home runs (4 ER) in just 4 2⁄3 innings. The right-hander still has a 2.44 ERA with the Sounds this season, and hasn’t allowed more than two earned runs in any start since his very first start of the season back in March. He’ll be fine, especially considering he’s already proven he can hang in the majors.

Recently-acquired first baseman Andrew Vaughn went 5-for-18 (.278), including a grand slam. Even more impressive, at least to me, was this double off of rehabbing Cubs starter Shota Imanaga.

It’s a tiny sample size, but Vaughn — who had an extra-base hit in his first four games in Nashville — posted a 1.017 OPS on the week. Last week, I wrote about how Vaughn could potentially become a contributor in Milwaukee. He’s done nothing to prove me wrong so far in what has been a very encouraging start to his time with the Brewers’ organization.

C/2B Anthony Seigler had another down week, going 3-for-18 (.167) with zero extra-base hits. The 25-year-old Seigler is still hitting .287 on the season with seven home runs, 32 RBIs, and 17 stolen bases.

Bobby Dalbec went 8-for-21 (.318) with a team-leading seven RBIs. The 29-year-old Dalbec now has a .862 OPS through 34 games with Nashville. He was a highly ranked prospect at one point and has been playing well this year. Dalbec, Seigler, and Vaughn could all realistically serve as infield depth if needed in the big leagues.

Jeferson Quero went 6-for-15 (.400) with five walks and just one strikeout in his second full week back with Nashville. Quero suffered a labrum injury after just one plate appearance with the Sounds in 2024. The 22-year-old catcher, a stud defender, is the Brewers’ top prospect not named Jesus Made.

Quero will be a candidate for a call-up if he continues to play this well. William Contreras has hit below his average self this season, while Eric Haase, as much as I love him, isn’t going to block the Brewers’ No. 2 overall prospect.

Tyler Black (No. 7) went 1-for-16 in his first full week back in Triple-A. He is now 2-for-27 on the season, excluding his rehab stint in the ACL. Certainly a disheartening start to the season for the 24-year-old Black, who was selected No. 33 overall by the Brewers back in 2021 and has ranked as a top 10 Brewers prospect (per MLB Pipeline) every year since 2022.

Coleman Crow, who’s allowed just two earned runs over his last three starts (24 K), was called up to Triple-A this week and immediately placed on the seven-day IL. Crow — who missed all of last year while recovering from Tommy John surgery — is currently dealing with hip pain. He’s expected to make his first start with Nashville next week.

Garrett Mitchell — as you may have heard — can’t seem to shake the injury bug. Mitchell injured his shoulder this week while rehabbing an oblique injury with Nashville. Early imaging results are “inconclusive.”

Looking ahead to next week, Nashville will face off against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp in a six-game series beginning Tuesday.

Double-A Biloxi (42-27)

Biloxi went 4-2 this week against the Knoxville Smokies. The Shuckers now have a run differential of +73, which leads the Southern League by almost 30 runs, and have officially clinched the first-half South Division title.

3B Brock Wilken went 3-for-8 on the week. Wilken reportedly slipped in the clubhouse while celebrating the division title and injured his left knee. The Brewers organization is awaiting further imaging results.

Wilken has gotten his average up to .230 and continues to lead all of Double-A with 18 home runs. He’s been playing extremely well (.982 OPS) over the last month. Hopefully, it’s nothing serious for the Brewers’ No. 18 prospect, who has been a big part of Biloxi’s success this season.

1B/3B Luke Adams (No. 9), who has a .986 OPS over the last month with the Shuckers, is also now injured. He’s on the seven-day IL with a left shoulder contusion suffered sliding into home plate. 1B/3B Mike Boeve (No. 6) went 5-for-23 on the week. He’s now slashing .229/.329/.374 since returning from a right labrum procedure.

Cooper Pratt (No. 3) went 8-for-21 with a 1.015 OPS. Pratt is now hitting .333 across 63 at-bats in June after posting a .200/.289/.282 line in the month of May. He’s clearly been seeing the ball better in recent weeks.

Luis Lara (No. 21) went 6-for-19 (.316) with a couple of doubles. Biloxi’s speedy centerfielder is pretty much a pure contact hitter and profiles as a defensive fourth outfielder type in the majors. Lara is now hitting .258/.355/.342 with 23 stolen bases.

Tyson Hardin, the Brewers’ Minor League Pitcher of the Month for April, was called up to Biloxi this week. Hardin went six innings in his first start, allowing four hits and two earned runs.

The jump to Double-A is often the hardest for pitchers, but Hardin didn’t look overwhelmed by Knoxville’s hitters, striking out five while only walking one. He did, however, allow his first home run as a professional, snapping a streak of over 63 innings without giving one up. I’m excited to see how he does in his next start. Hardin’s stats with the Timber Rattlers: 2.34 ERA, 9.68 K/9, 1.4 BB/9.

K.C. Hunt (No. 24) gave up two earned runs in three innings. Hunt’s ERA is now up to 4.61 on the season. The 24-year-old righty has alternated great starts with mediocre ones as he continues to adjust to Double-A. Same with Brett Wichrowski (No. 13), who gave up four runs (two earned) in five innings this week. He sports a 2.88 ERA (1.54 WHIP) through nine starts.

Lefty Tate Kuehner struck out an extremely impressive 13 batters in 7 2⁄3 innings. Kuehner also gave up fourteen hits, but only four earned runs. He now has a 2.84 ERA on the season, albeit with a 1.42 WHIP.

The Shuckers will take on the Columbus Clingstones next week in a six-game series.

High-A Wisconsin (34-34)

The Timber Rattlers went 1-4 this week against the West Michigan Whitecaps, with the scheduled sixth game of the series cancelled due to weather.

As you might guess due to how the series went, the stats out of Wisconsin don’t look great. The Timber Rattlers had just two hitters hit over .267 this week (min. eight at-bats) — Jadher Arenaimo and Marco Dinges.

Areinamo (No. 23), who’s been one of Wisconsin’s best hitters each of the last two seasons, went 7-for-20 (.350) with two home runs. The 21-year-old shortstop now has an OPS of .844 on the season. Dinges went 5-for-18 on the week with a team-leading three home runs. He’s now hitting .316 in 98 at-bats in High-A, with six home runs and a .920 OPS.

I expected to see a bit of a learning curve for Dinges, a 2024 fourth-round pick who was named the Brewers’ April Minor League Player of the Month with Single-A Carolina. Apparently, he doesn’t need one. The Crew already has William Contreras and Jeferson Quero, but watch out: Dinges is coming.

RHP Jaron DeBerry, drafted in the third round of the 2024 draft, recorded 10 strikeouts over eight innings. He allowed five hits and three earned runs, lowering his ERA to 3.44 on the season.

Next week, Wisconsin will face off against the Quad Cities River Bandits in a six-game series.

Single-A Carolina (39-28)

Carolina rebounded nicely from a rough week, going 4-2 against the Columbia Fireflies. The Mudcats are still three games back of first in the Carolina League, although they remain 11 games over .500.

This is your weekly reminder to find a way to watch a Mudcats game (free to watch on Bally Sports’ website). They’re young, feature a ton of the Brewers’ high-ceiling and top-ranked prospects, and put up runs. Carolina seriously might be one of the most stacked Brewers affiliates ever.

Eric Bitonti (No. 8) had his second three-home run week of the season. The 19-year-old infielder went 7-for-21 (.333). His batting average had been hovering just above the Mendoza Line for much of the season, but is now up to .240 (.782 OPS).

OH YES HE DID‼️

Jesús Made (No. 1) and Luis Peña (No. 5) both had down weeks, at least by their lofty standards. Made went 4-for-20 (.200), while Peña went 5-for-21 (.238). Both of these guys would be the top infield prospect in most other organizations, and one week doesn’t change that. Peña still has an .855 OPS this season, while Made isn’t too far behind at .811. The Brewers are blessed to have those two and Pratt in the same farm system.

Nineteen-year-old SS/3B Filippo Di Turi also had an off week, going 3-for-19 with 10 strikeouts. He’s still been one of the most consistent sources of offense for the Mudcats. Di Turi has hit nine home runs this season, and his 38 RBIs (tied with Made) are one behind Bitonti for the team lead.

Braylon Payne (No. 10) went 2-for-3 on the week. No injury has been reported yet for Payne (.701 OPS), but he’s been looking better recently after a rough stretch.

Ethan Dorchies, called up last week after a hot start with the ACL Brewers, gave up three earned runs in two appearances (5 2⁄3 innings) with the Mudcats. The 18-year-old Dorchies also struck out nine batters, so he looks to be acclimating to Single-A just fine.

Ethan Dorchies is making his first start (second appearance) in Low-A. He has five strikeouts in his first two innings. Here are four of them, the other was a pitch clock violation.

RHP Bryce Meccage (No. 15) went six innings, giving up four hits and two earned runs. The Brewers’ 2024 second-round pick has a 3.92 ERA (1.15 WHIP) through 11 starts with Carolina.

The Mudcats will face the Delmarva Shorebirds next week.

Player of the Week

Marco Dinges, again. I swear this isn’t me being lazy, I just can’t justify picking anybody else over Dinges.

Dinges (.998 OPS in A-ball) keeps getting better every single week. His three home runs this week were tied for the most of any Brewers prospect.

This might sound crazy, but it’s possible he’s already outgrown High-A after a month. He now leads the Timber Rattlers in batting average (.316), OPS (.920), and slugging percentage (.551). Dinges also somehow ranks fourth on the Timber Rattlers in home runs and fifth in RBIs, even though he hasn’t even reached 100 at-bats yet.

I know Dinges isn’t on MLB Pipeline’s list of the top 30 Brewers prospects, but he might be in my personal top 10. Watch these two swings and tell me he’s not a pure hitter.
