This Brewers prospect is taking the Carolina League by storm

The Milwaukee Brewers’ farm system continues to churn out promising young talent, and another name making serious noise down in Low-A is Eric Bitonti. The 19-year-old slugger is quickly becoming one of the more exciting players in the Carolina League — and for good reason.

Bitonti, currently ranked as the Brewers’ No. 10 prospect, is turning heads with his prodigious power while suiting up for the Carolina Mudcats. He leads the Carolina League in home runs with 11, including three long balls in his last four games. Nearly every ball he connects with jumps off the bat, routinely registering exit velocities that rival far more seasoned hitters.

At 6-foot-4, Bitonti looks the part of a future big-league masher. His bat speed routinely clocks in the mid-70s, and his physicality allows him to generate loud, damage-inflicting contact. But as is often the case with young sluggers, that power comes with its share of growing pains.

Swing-and-miss issues remain Bitonti's biggest hurdle, and advanced pitchers have been able to exploit that. His 2025 slash line of .240/.339/.442 is respectable — especially for a teenager in full-season ball — but it also suggests that improving contact and plate discipline will be critical to his continued rise.

That said, the Brewers aren’t concerned — if anything, there's intrigue. What Bitonti has already accomplished at 19 against older competition is impressive. The raw power is legitimate, the physical makeup is ideal, and the upside is immense. If Milwaukee’s development staff can help him refine his swing and approach, they may very well have their next middle-of-the-order bat in the making.

At just 19 years old, Bitonti is more than holding his own against older competition. The foundation is clearly there. Elite bat speed, power to all fields, and a frame that scouts love. Now, it’s about refinement. If he continues to progress and tighten up his approach, the Brewers may be looking at one of the next big bats to come through their system.
