Brock Wilken Goes Deep Twice On Thursday
9 months agoMilwaukee Brewers third base prospect Brock WIlken went 2-for-5 with two long balls on Thursday evening. This performance extended his current hitting streak to three games and was his second and third home runs of the week. Since June 29, the former first-round selection has begun to find his footing in the batter's box with a .256/.396/.590 line with 10 RBI, and an 8:7 BB:K ratio. However, through 60 total games at Double-A this summer, he sits with a mediocre .230/.323/.429 line. The infielder should contend for a major league debut next summer and might earn a small taste of Triple-A in August if he continues to carry this momentum through July.

Brock Wilken Returns From Facial Fractures
11 months agoMilwaukee Brewers third base prospect Brock WIlken (facial) recently returned from an early-season facial fracture injury this past week. Earlier in April, Wilken took a fastball to the face but thankfully did not suffer any loss of vision or concussion as a result. The 21-year-old returned to Double-A on May 4 and tallied a double. Wilken, who was a first-round selection in the 2023 MLB Draft, has not logged many games in the minor leagues but hopes to get himself back on track now that he is fully healthy. Wilken showcased his raw power potential in a limited opportunity with Double-A last season by launching two long balls in just six games. The sixth-ranked prospect in the Milwaukee system should be expected to reach the major leagues sometime next season.
