4 Brewers prospects already off to hot starts in 2024

Biloxi Shuckers - 3B Mike Boeve

Mike Boeve started the season in High-A Wisconsin. He torched the Midwest League to the tune of a .553 batting average and 1.274 OPS. No, that is not a typo. In 13 games, he collected 21 hits, drew 13 walks, and struck out just five times.

Very quickly, he earned a promotion to Double-A Biloxi. In his eight games with the Shuckers, he's hitting .323/.432/.613 with three doubles, three triples, and a 1.045 OPS.

There is quite simply no hotter hitter in the Brewers system and possibly all of baseball than Mike Boeve.

Boeve was the Crew's 2nd round pick in the 2023 MLB Draft. A corner infielder, Boeve was known more for his contact than his power. He struck out just nine times in his entire college season last year and hit over .400. The Brewers believed there was more power inside and he slugged five homers in 28 games after signing last year.

While Boeve has yet to leave the yard in 2024, his bat to ball skills have been exceptional and power is certainly coming. Hitting the ball out of the park in Biloxi when that wind is coming in off the gulf is difficult sometimes and has killed home runs for many left handed hitters.

There's a lot of hitters to be excited about from last year's Draft class, and Boeve has been the best one so far in 2024.
