Luis Lara Displays Multi-Category Potential, Remains a High-End Stash
Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Luis Lara played in his first game on Tuesday since signing a seven-year, $31 million contract extension and went 1-for-3 with two walks, a run scored, and a stolen base. The Brewers' fifth-ranked prospect has been impressive at Triple-A Nashville this season, slashing .338/.450/.498 and belting seven home runs (last season he hit just two in 136 games) while swiping 19 bags. While the development in the power department has been a welcome sight, the 5-foot-7 Venezuelan is in the midst of a power outage, having not hit a home run in 23 consecutive games now, with his last coming on May 6. Regardless, the team clearly sees him as part of their future after rewarding him with a new contract, and with the way he's hitting, a call-up to the majors could happen by the end of the month. With excellent contact ability and speed, along with some newfound power, the switch-hitter remains a high-end hitter to stash for his multi-category potential.
