Prospect of the Day:

Thursday evening featured several strong pitching performances at the lower levels, a pair of game-winning singles by Brewers catchers, and another high-profile injury. Helena SS Jake Gatewood had to leave the game against Missoula after he was hit on the wrist by a fastball, though thankfully the early reports on Gatewood’s injury have been positive. In the Arizona Rookie League, Farm favorite Demi Orimoloye had a tough day at the plate (0-for-4, 2 K), so the Prospect-of-the-Day Award Committee had to give their prestigious prize to another 2015 draftee:

Helena 2B George Iskenderian sparked the Brewers’ comeback from an 8-2 deficit to an exciting 9-8 win over a very good Missoula Osprey team. Iskenderian filled the box score on Thursday, finishing 4-for-4 with a double, two runs, two RBI, a walk, and his eighth stolen base of the season. A seventh-round pick who played shortstop at the University of Miami (FL), Iskenderian has settled into his new role as Helena’s everyday second baseman. He hit third in the lineup for a University of Miami team that advanced to the College World Series, so perhaps his early success as a professional should not come as a surprise. A late-season promotion to Wisconsin might be in order.

What I’ll Be Watching on Friday:

Reigning PCL Pitcher-of-the-Week Hiram Burgos is scheduled to start for Colorado Springs at Omaha. At 27, Burgos no longer qualifies as a “prospect” per se. Then again, neither did Corey Kluber or Chris Heston when they broke out at age 27.

I’ll also be watching the 11-15 Biloxi Shuckers, who were the best story in the minor leagues during the first half of the season, when they endured a two-month road trip before their new home stadium finally opened. Rather than use their situation as an excuse, the Shuckers embraced their peripatetic fate and rolled to a South Division championship (43-25). Top prospects Orlando Arcia, Tyrone Taylor, and Michael Reed remain on the Biloxi roster, so I’ll be curious to see whether the Shuckers can regain their first-half form.

Prospect of the Day:

This is getting ridiculous. AZL Brewers RF Demi Orimoloye had another huge game in the rookie league (3-for-4, 2 HR (5), 2 R, 7 RBI, BB, K, SB (11)). He was the prospect-of-the-day across all of baseball, let alone among Brewers affiliates. And he is no stranger to this space in our farm update.  n fact, I’m almost ready to propose that from now on we call this feature the Demi Orimoloye Prospect-of-the-Day Award.

Let’s put Orimoloye’s first month of professional ball in context. Last season, the Seattle Mariners selected Canadian high-school outfielder Gareth Morgan 74th overall. Enamored by Morgan’s plus raw power, the Mariners gave him an eye-popping, well-over-slot $2 million bonus. In 2014, Morgan struggled so badly in the Arizona League (155 AB, 16 BB:73 K, .148/.244/.252) that he is now repeating the level. Two days ago he hit his fifth professional home run in 258 at-bats. Last week he stole his eighth professional base. None of this is meant to diminish Morgan as a prospect. Baseball is supposed to be hard. And the young Mariners outfielder has shown promising signs of late.

This season, the Brewers paid Canadian high-school outfielder Orimoloye (121st overall) $450,000. Sixteen games and 68 at-bats later, Orimoloye leads the Arizona League in home runs and ranks fourth in steals. He also ranks seventh in average (.353), second in slugging (.691), and second in OPS (1.071) behind 22-year-old White Sox 1B Cody Daily. According to Baseball America, Orimoloye has a “chiseled” 6-foot-4 frame, is a “plus runner with a plus arm and plus raw power,” and “could develop into a legitimate five-tool player.” Thus far the lone blemish on Orimoloye’s stat line is his 1:20 BB:K ratio, but the significance of that ratio pales in comparison to the elite power-speed combo he has flashed and the fact that his plus power already plays in game competition. He is making the game look easy.

In short, it’s a small sample, but Demi Orimoloye looks to be the early favorite for steal-of-the-draft. Learn the name, Brewers fans. Learn it, and dream.

Demi Orimoloye.

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.
