Braylon Payne Earns Carolina League Player of the Week Honors
Braylon Payne was named Carolina League Player of the Week for his performance from July 7-13. The Brewers' ninth-ranked prospect went 6-for-14 (.429) with a double, two home runs, four RBI, four runs scored, and a stolen base in four games for Single-A Carolina. The 2024 first-rounder is riding a 10-game hit streak that includes six multi-hit efforts, during which time he's slashing .432/.553/.784. For the season, the 18-year-old is hitting .261 with a .373 OBP thanks to a strong 15.4 percent walk rate, along with seven home runs and 22 steals through 54 games for the Mudcats. He's got plenty of time to bring his current strikeout rate of 27.8 percent down, and the 70-grade speed could make him a valuable fantasy asset down the road.
