Juan Baez went 2-for-3 with a homer, two walks, and four RBIs in Wednesday’s Arizona Fall League action.
Baez is the Brewers’ No. 27 prospect. As of Thursday, he leads the AFL with a .519 batting average, a .594 on-base percentage, and a 1.483 OPS. He also ranks second in slugging percentage, fifth in hits, and seventh in total bases. The 21-year-old had a strong start to the season in 2024 but injured his shoulder in May and then struggled upon returning to the lineup at the end of July. Baez doesn’t strike out a lot which gives him the profile of a high batting average hitter who can play multiple positions around the infield. The Brewers moved him to second base specifically this season and that figures to be his home moving forward. He will likely start 2025 in High-A.
