Ashby comes in at #37. That's it for Brewers prospects.

Law's rankings came out today. Only two Brewers:

85. Brice Turang, SS, Milwaukee Brewers
Age: 22 | 6-0 | 173 pounds
Bats: Left | Throws: Right
Drafted: No. 21 in 2018

Previous ranking: No. 96

Turang was the Brewers’ first-round pick in 2018, a highly regarded high school shortstop with good actions and sure hands but some questions around what his offensive game might eventually look like. In pro ball, he’s shown an excellent approach at the plate but has yet to do much damage when working himself into good counts. Turang hit just six homers last year, but has more power than that, with 15-18 homer upside, needing to add a little strength but mostly to learn to put the ball in the air more often — he can hit the ball hard enough, but his groundball rate spiked to over 50 percent when he reached Triple A and faced the major-league baseball. In the field, he’s excellent on routine plays, a solid 55/60 overall, although I’ve had scouts suggest he might be a better defender in center than at short. He’s already reached Triple A and will play at 22 this whole year, with a core skill set that gives him a high floor as at least a great super-utility player, with above-average regular upside as a shortstop who gets on base with moderate power.

88. Sal Frelick, OF, Milwaukee Brewers
Age: 22 | 5-9 | 175 pounds
Bats: Left | Throws: Right
Drafted: No. 15 in 2021

Previous ranking: Ineligible

Frelick started his spring at Boston College on fire, with talk that he might end up a top-six pick come draft day, but the power didn’t last through conference play, which in turn is probably how he ended up available to the Brewers at No. 15 pick. Frelick is a high-contact centerfielder with more strength than you might guess from his 5-9 frame, perhaps never getting to 10 homers a year but with plenty of power to make hard contact against big-league pitching. He walked more than he struck out in his three years at BC, and then drew 21 walks against 25 strikeouts in pro ball, finishing the summer in High A. His swing is compact and quick, he’s a plus runner, and he plays plus defense in center with some experience at second base from summer wood bat leagues. Garrett Mitchell might have more upside, but he has far more risk, making Frelick the Brewers’ more likely centerfielder and leadoff man of the future.

Ball sounds different coming off his bat.

Adley Rutschmann got the call up today. #1 prospect in baseball. Joey Wiemer has been better.

Wiemer has been simply amazing up to this point in the season, will be interesting to see where he ranks in mid season prospect report. he has split his time in cf this year, is his d good enough there?

He moved up 12 spots in MLB's Pipeline and now I think he's somewhere in the 80s. I asked Keith Law if his assessment of him has changed, and he said it hasn't. He's striking out a third of his at bats and he's "not young" for AA. Which, fair, especially the K's. He doesn't really walk either.

He's a fun prospect to dream about but I don't have a problem keeping him down until next season.

Would like to see him get the bump to AA soon. No reason to keep throwing him out there in high A.
