Zack Brown

The team at Reviewing the Brew has become big fans of right-hander Zack Brown.

The Milwaukee Brewers drafted Brown in the fifth round in 2016, and he’s already looked fantastic in Double-A.

Brown made 21 starts and one relief appearance for the Biloxi Shuckers in 2018. He posted a 2.44 ERA with 116 strikeouts, and 36 walks in 125 2/3 innings of work.

He looks an awful lot like the 2019 version of Burnes, and shouldn’t take long to reach the Majors. He’s already a top-ten prospect, and could be coming to a bullpen in Milwaukee as soon as July of 2019.
