The Milwaukee Brewers have eight prospects participating in this year’s Arizona Fall League (AFL). The hitters are Brock Wilken, Juan Baez and Luis Lara, while the pitchers are Coleman Crow, Ryan Birchard, Will Childers, Mark Manfredi and Nick Merkel. Of this group, Juan Baez is taking the AFL by storm with an OPS of 1.356.
Is Juan Baez a top prospect in the Milwaukee Brewers system?
Yes, 19-year-old Juan Baez is currently ranked 27th on the Brewers’ roster. He was an international signing in 2022, spent the 2024 season with the Carolina Mudcats, and interestingly, was an AFL All-Star a season ago. A shoulder injury cost him a lot of time in this year’s Minor League season, but he still scored more hits (88) than games played (81).
Juan Baez Arizona’s fall league stats
In nine games (30 at-bats), Juan Baez had 14 hits, five of which went for extra bases, scored 10 runs, drew six walks and struck out only six times. This gives him an impressive .467/.556/.800.1.356 slash line. His 1.356 OPS is second best in the AFL.
There are still three weeks left in the 2024 AFL schedule, but I’m hopeful that Juan Baez will continue to perform well and maintain his momentum into the 2025 season.
