Brewers Video
Milwaukee Brewer fans got to see top prospect Garrett Mitchell for the first time in the big leagues after his call up on Saturday August 27th. The 23-year-old outfielder is replacing center fielder Jonathan Davis, who was placed on the Injured List with a right elbow contusion. Davis has struggled at the plate for the most part, batting 0.224 in 37 games. He does own an OBP of 0.344 and excellent defense.
Mitchell, meanwhile, has been great and is a highly rated prospect, currently ranked 5th in the Brewer system. He has seen time in rookie ball, Double-A and Triple-A this year, and is hitting 0.287 across all three. The potential five tool player has a batting average of 0.343 in his 20 games in Triple-A and will look to pounce on the opportunity. A left handed hitter, will look to form a great pairing with Tyrone Taylor in center, and made his first appearance tonight as a defensive replacement.
