Jesús Made's Double-A Dominance

On April 24th, Jason's mate is on fire in double A, dropping three hits in

Beluxi's 9-5 win over Rocket City on Thursday. The Brewer's top prospect in

MLB's number three overall drove in two runs, scored once, and tied his career

high with three stolen bases. This marks his second three-hit game in just four

outings. Switch hitting from both sides made sprays the ball everywhere. One to

right, one laser to center, and an opposite field single to left. His elite

bat speed and balance give him an 81% contact rate on strikes this year. At just

18 years old, he's nearly five years younger than most double A arms, yet he's

batting 338 against Southern League. Pitching, good for top five. That power shows

in his 1.033 on base plus slugging, third in the league. Mades play discipline

stands out too. He's walked 15 times compared to 12 strikeouts this season.

Career-wise, his walk rate edges his strikeout rate at about 16% each. Add his

60-grade speed, and he's 11 for 12 on steals this year, after swiping 47 bags

across levels last season. This kid's tools screen future star, keeping eyes

locked on his rise. I'm Corey with the story, and you've been listening to Milwaukee
