Two Milwaukee Brewers named among top 10 OF prospects
Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick were among the top ten
In anticipation of its upcoming top 100 list, MLB Pipeline released its list of the top 10 outfield prospects in baseball. Among the 10 were two members of the Milwaukee Brewers farm system.
Eighth overall and mentioned as the prospect with the best hitting ability is Sal Frelick. Frelick, who is expected to join the big leagues in Milwaukee this season, hit .365 at Triple-A last season. MLB Pipeline also described his running ability as "plus-plus speed [which] allows him to turn groundballs into hits."
The third overall outfield prospect is Jackson Chourio. The 18-year-old Venezuelan phenom made his US pro-debut this season and quickly shot up the prospect rankings. Making his way from Low-A to High-A to Double-A, all in his 18-year-old season, Chourio is among the hottest names in the scouting community right now. With the first and second-ranked outfield prospects expected to arrive in the MLB this season, Chourio is on pace to become the top-ranked outfield prospect (and maybe the top-ranked overall prospect in all of baseball) in the coming months.
