  • Monte Harrison, CF – LoA Wisconsin Timber Rattlers (MIL) – Midwest League/Western

    • With #1 prospect Lewis Brinson (MLB Pipeline) leading Brewer headlines by collecting a hit in all nine of his games so far this season (16-39/.410), another story working its way up the Milwaukee ladder is 2014 – 2nd rounder Harrison, who belted his third home run in his last two games. With 12 home runs in his first 204 career games, the speedy 6’3″- 220 lb. righty has tapped into his plus bat speed and already has a Midwest League tying five home runs. It will be interesting to see how Milwaukee sorts out their supremely loaded outfield with Brinson, Harrison, recently resurging Brett Phillips and 2016 – 1st rounder Corey Ray sitting in the fold.
