Prospect(s) of the Day:

By far the biggest news of the night on Tuesday came from Helena, where OF Monte Harrison suffered a broken ankle while running the bases. While there’s never a good time for such things, Harrison’s injury is especially unlucky in light of the fact that he has been scorching-hot in July (.400/.493/.545). He’s also a hard worker with a great attitude. BP Milwaukee wishes Monte a speedy recovery.

Elsewhere, as was the case in the season’s first half, much of the night’s good news came from Biloxi. Making his third minor-league rehab appearance, Brewers RHP Wily Peralta went five innings and surrendered only one earned run while throwing 65 percent of his pitches for strikes. After the Shuckers surrendered the lead in the top of the ninth,3B Nathan Orf delivered a one-out, walk-off single in the bottom of the inning to give Biloxi a 5-4 win.

The Prospect(s) of the Day Award, however, goes to the Arizona-League Brewers Outfield.  In a 6-5 win over the AZL Dodgers, LF Joantgel Segovia, CF Trent Clark, and RF Demi Orimoloye combined to go 7-for-12 with 4 runs, 4 RBI, a home run, and a stolen base. Farm fans will recognize Clark and Orimoloye as two of Milwaukee’s higher-profile prospects, high-school bats selected in the first and fourth rounds, respectively, of the 2015 FYP draft. Segovia, though perhaps not a familiar name to Brewers fans, also is a good prospect in his own right. Part of Milwaukee’s 2013 international class, Segovia has put together an impressive .379/.451/.427 slash line in 314 AB across two seasons with the DSL and AZL Brewers. Lauded for his plate discipline, outfield defense, and overall makeup, Segovia has the look of a leadoff hitter.  Only 18, he already qualifies as one of the top seven or eight outfield prospects in the system.

What I’ll Be Watching on Wednesday:

RHP Marcos Diplan will start for the Helena Brewers at Missoula (Diamondbacks). Fans of the Pioneer League know that, despite average team batting numbers, the Osprey lineup is stacked with offensive talent. Led by three of the league’s top-six hitters in OPS (1B Austin Byler, C Luke Lowery, and SS Isan Diaz), Missoula will pose a serious challenge for one of Milwaukee’s top pitching prospects.
