Cleveland Guardians shortstop prospect
Juan Brito went 3-for-5 with three doubles and three RBI on Wednesday evening. This performance extended his current hitting streak to three games. This was the second time in this span where Brito tallied three hits. Since June 25, the 22-year-old has been dominant in the batter's box riding a .405/.450/.811 slash line. This is a great sign as Brito was struggling through the early months of the season and has clearly begun to turn a corner. Overall through his first extended look at Triple-A pitching, Brito has posted a .256/.375/.451 line with 13 long balls, 52 RBI, and six swiped bags through 81 games. MLB Pipeline considered Brito the sixth best prospect in the Cleveland system and projects him reach the majors in the second half of the summer.

After a 2-for-4 night at Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday, Cleveland Guardians infield prospect
Juan Brito has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games, going 18-for-52 (.346). Not only that, six of the games have been multi-hit efforts, and 10 of his 18 hits during this stretch have gone for extra bases (six doubles, four homers). Brito is the Guardians' sixth-ranked prospect, according to MLB.com's top prospects list, and they have Brito with a 2024 ETA. The Guardians are winners of six straight and sit atop the American League Central standings, but no thanks to
Brayan Rocchio's offense, their current shortstop, which seemingly would be Brito's clearest path to playing time. Brito has played second, third, and short this season, but
Andres Gimenez and
Jose Ramirez have him blocked at second and third. Brito's hot stretch is nice, but for fantasy, he is probably off the season-long radar, as his power and speed potential aren't impactful enough to warrant a roster spot at this point.
