The Milwaukee Breweries will be selected 17th in the 2024 MLB draft. With about a month left until the event, there have already been mocks suggesting the team could sign college infielder Seaver Kingva or college outfielder Vance Honeycutt. Lately MLB Pipeline proposed that Milwaukee could sign a very talented two-way player.
Oklahoma State two-way prospect Carson Benge could be a target of the Milwaukee Brewers in this year’s draft.
Before the 2024 baseball season began, the path to the MLB early mock draft had the Brewers taking Carson Benge. Six months after this publication, he can again take 17th place in the general classification. The Oklahoma State two-way hitter is hitting .335/.444/.665 in 61 games with 18 home runs, 24 doubles and 64 RBI. On the mound, he has thrown 37 innings in relief and has an ERA of 3.16.
What are the best Carson Benge tools?
According to MLB’s pipeline, Carson Benge has a Grade 60 throwing arm as an outfielder and 55 hitting, strength, speed and fielding tools. This makes him a well-balanced right fielder who bats from the left side of base, and he also stole 10 bases this year. As a pitcher, his fastball can reach 96 mph, his slider is his second-best pitch, and he also has a changeup that we’re still working on.
Is there anything to worry about if the Milwaukee Brewers draft Carson Benge?
Two-way players are scarce in Major League Baseball, so it’s essential to know that Carson Benge prefers to hit rather than pitch, according to MLB Pipeline. He also has a history of Tommy John surgery, which was performed in 2022. Additionally, his 55-degree speed comes with the caveat that his 6-foot-4 frame needs some time to come into play.
The 2024 MLB Draft begins on July 14, 2024. It will be intriguing to see if Carson Benge is still available at 5 p.m. or not. MLB.com ranked him as the 19th best prospect in this year’s draft class.
