Shuckers OF Rodriguez strings together franchise history Wisconsin News

Every Thursday this season Bally Sports Wisconsin takes a closer look at some specific young players in the Milwaukee Brewers’ farm system — as well as noting others who might be stepping up — measuring, highlighting and evaluating their progress.

This is the 17th edition of the 2023 Young Brewers Tracker.

Tyler Black, 3B (age 22/Triple-A)

Last week: 7 games, 24 AB, 4 H, HR, 8 R, 4 RBI, 7 BB, 5 K, .167 BA

Other notes: Biloxi OF Carlos Rodriguez — the other Carlos Rodriguez on the Shuckers — went 10-for-25 with three doubles and eight RBI last week. He had a six-game string with two hits from Aug. 9-15, becoming the first player in Biloxi history with six straight multi-hit games. … Shuckers INF Ethan Murray (fifth round, 2021) led Brewers minor-leaguers last week with a .474 average, going 9-for-19 with a couple RBI and five walks in six games. On the year Murray is swinging .266 with a .764 OPS. … Nashville INF/OF Keston Hiura (first round, 2017) went yard twice with five RBI in six games last week. In August, Hiura is hitting .356 over 12 games with three doubles, three home runs and 13 RBI. … Carolina SP Logan Henderson (fourth round, 2021) racked up eight strikeouts and surrendered just three hits and a run over 5 1/3 innings Aug. 12 vs. Delmarva. Henderson now has 8+ whiffs in four of his last five starts and 6+ in 10 of 15 on the season. He owns a 2.61 ERA and 0.903 WHIP. … Brewers prospect Daniel Corniel dominated rookie ball last week, needing only 37 pitches to fan eight over five frames. Corniel posted an absurd strike rate of 89% and caught hitters swinging 59% of the time. It was by far the finest outing yet for the 19-year-old Venezuelan, who sports a 6.03 ERA in 34 1/3 IP this year.
