His exit velocity and hard hit percentage were elite. Also, if you examine his advanced stats, he was hitting the ball just as hard as he always had.
After a miserable slump to start the season, he was showing improvement and looked to be slipping out of his slump just as the 2020 season wrapped up. In left-field looking for a bounce-back season will be Christian Yelich, and I fully expect it will happen. Kolten Wong will be at second base and I do expect a great season from him defensively and offensively. I’m a huge Cain fan eversince his days with the Royals, but I wouldn’t bet on him having some kind of monster year at this point in his career. His defense will still likely be solid, but the Brewers will need Cain to show he can still produce with the bat.

The veteran will be turning 35 soon but in his most recent full season, he took a big step back offensively with the lowest batting average of his career and unimpressive advanced stats as well. If Wong doesn’t take over the leadoff spot, the incumbent leadoff man is 2019 Gold Glover, Lorenzo Cain, who opted out of the majority of 2020. Daniel Vogebach could also be in there as a DH if the DH ends up being instituted in the National League for 2021, which doesn’t look likely right now but who knows. Here is a look at a possible starting lineup for the Brewers in 2021.
Unfortunately, he recently had Tommy John and won’t be a major factor for 2021, but it is an interesting move as Perdomo started to show great improvement after moving to the bullpen for the Pads. The last name that might jump out on your on this list is Luis Perdmo, the long-time promising San Diego Padres prospect. Luke Maile was signed to a major league deal as a good defensive backup catcher, but it is an interesting move because the Brewers already have about 80 catchers including Omar Narvaez, Manny Pina, Jacob Nottingham and maybe couple others and some catching prospects on the way, so obviously they’re thinking you can never have enough catchers. The Brew-Crew also claimed Tim Lopes off waivers from Seattle and he can also provide some infield depth. 333 two RBIs in 17 games while making appearances at shortstop, second base, third base and the outfield. He has good on-base ability, strong defense and puts the ball in play. He will probably start the season with Nashville but if he hits like he did in Sacramento, the Brewers will definitely take notice.ĭaniel Robertson, the former Rays prospect who played for the Giants last year, was signed to a big league deal worth $900,000 and will be a versatile backup for Milwaukee. 380 on base percentage and I never understood why the Giants didn’t give him a more extended opportunity at the big-league level. I was a huge Zach Green fan when he was in the Giants organization, especially after he crushed 25 home runs in just 252 at bats in Triple A in 2019. Nevertheless, a few names you might recognize, especially if you’re a Giants fan, are Daniel Robertson and Zach Green. Other than Wong, most of the moves the Brewers have made so far this offseason have been relatively minor. Jace Peterson 2B (Re-signed/Minor League Deal) Now the Brewers will likely be shifting Keston Hirua over to the first base, keeping Hirua’s bat in the lineup and upgrading defensively at second base. Over the course of a full 162 game season in 2019, he had a WAR of 5.2, demonstrating his ability to be a difference maker as compared to an average second baseman.
350 on base percentage in 2020 with just 30 strikeouts in 181 at bats. Wong won consecutive Gold Gloves – one in 2019 and then another last season – and had a.

It was unlikely he would return to the Cardinals after they turned down his $12.5 million option for 2021 in order to free up money that probably helped them to sign Arenado. Wong has reportedly signed a two year deal worth around $18 million with a third year option worth another $8 million. We’ll get into those names shortly, but starting with Wong, the Brewers have snagged an elite fielding second baseman from one of their division rivals and this is a big deal, because Cardinals fans were still hoping that Wong would re-sign with St. However, there have been some other signings which include some familiar names. The Brewers and the entire National Central had been fairly quiet up until the last few days when the Cardinals traded for Nolan Arenado and now the Brew Crew have signed former Cardinal Kolten Wong. This is probably their biggest acquisition of the offseason thus far. Continuing my 30 clubs in 30 days series, it’s time for the Milwaukee Brewers, who just made a big splash by signing free agent second baseman Kolten Wong.
