Welcome back to the Minor League Roundup!<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll be releasing a weekly update this season covering everything you need to know about each of the Brewers\u2019 minor league affiliates. This week\u2019s edition is a bit brief, as only Triple-A Nashville has begun its season. Starting next week, this roundup will include coverage of each Brewers affiliate while highlighting notable stats and naming a Player and Play of the Week.<\/p>\n
OF Eddys Leonard: 5-for-9, 2B, 3B, BB<\/p>\n
OF Greg Jones: 5-for-11, 2B, 3 RBI<\/p>\n
INF\/OF Jett Williams: 3-for-11, 3 BB, 3 SB<\/p>\n
LHP Robert Gasser: 1 GS, 5 2\/3 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 11 K<\/p>\n
RHP Coleman Crow: 1 GS, 4 2\/3 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 6 K<\/p>\n
LHP Tate Kuehner: 1 GS, 5 2\/3 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 5 K<\/p>\n
Nashville dropped two of three games this week to the Norfolk Tides, the Triple-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, despite solid performances from each of their starting pitchers. Robert Gasser had an incredibly impressive first start of the season, striking out 11 in 5 2\/3 scoreless innings.<\/p>\n
The Triple-A roster features a few of the Brewers\u2019 top hitting prospects, including Williams (No. 3), Cooper Pratt (No. 4), Luis Lara (No. 12), Luke Adams (No. 13), and Brock Wilken (No. 22). Adams and Wilken failed to record hits this week, but Lara went 3-for-12 with a home run and Pratt went 4-for-15. The two hitters with the best stats this week were outfielders Eddys Leonard and Greg Jones, both unranked by MLB Pipeline.<\/p>\n
Gasser, who \u2014 as shown by his performance on Opening Day \u2014 doesn\u2019t really have much to prove in Triple-A anymore. Kyle Harrison is currently the only left-hander in the Brewers\u2019 rotation. If the Brewers decide that Brandon Sproat could use some more time to develop in Triple-A<\/a>, Gasser would be the logical replacement, especially with Logan Henderson reportedly dealing with soreness in his pitching elbow<\/a>.<\/p>\n Not a lot of contenders this week, but this smooth 3-6-1 double play \u2014 turned by Tyler Black, Williams, and Crow \u2014 is worthy of the award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome back to the Minor League Roundup!
