Expect all of that to get sorted in the offseason to open a spot for Hiura sometime after June.

While I love Jonathan Schoop, give me Hiura any day of the week. But, the last I checked, the Brewers have a ton of infielders that need to be sorted before he gets the call.

He’s not a great defender but plays an adequate enough second base to get full-time at-bats. The bigger question is where will he play? That will play just fine for the Brewers and fantasy owners. 360 OBP and 18 to 22 home runs and a handful of stolen bases. In fact, I clocked him at 4.27 down to first, which is a tick above average. The stolen bases also did come with 13 failed attempts and having now seen him, he’s not a burner. 502 with 17 home runs and 17 stolen bases. What has been encouraging is the power and speed he has shown. After 165 games across multiple levels and a. I, unfortunately, had not seen him in college but everyone I spoke with who had, said the hit tool was elite. When he was drafted last year, everyone talked about his hit-tool.

Lucas Erceg is another interesting player who I believe has yet to tap into his full potential. I do like Brice Turang, their first-round pick last June but he currently lacks power and that could slip him to a utility role long-term. After that, the system drops off quickly.

Corey Ray has even louder tools but doesn’t have the hit tool of Hiura. Hiura is a hitting machine with pop and speed that could become a top five offensive second baseman in the game. They still have two big chips in their system that should see Milwaukee sometime next year in Keston Hiura and Corey Ray. It all has worked as the Brewers were finally able to climb over the Cubs in the NL Central last season, defeating them in a 163 contest to emphasize the point. They have promoted kids to the major leagues and have used other players as trade bait.
