Luis Lara Emerging as Name to Monitor in Milwaukee Pipeline
Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Luis Lara is gradually emerging as a potential deep-league stash candidate. Lara is currently ranked as the team's No. 11 prospect on MLB.com but has flashed elite upside in the early going of the Triple-A campaign. Over his first 35 games against Triple-A pitching, Lara has held his own, posting a strong .315/.414/.523 line with four doubles, seven home runs, and 12 stolen bases. During this stretch, the 21-year-old has held a 19:20 K:BB. Last summer, Lara spent his entire campaign at the Double-A level but did not enjoy as much success, hitting only two home runs with a modest .712 OPS. Seeing the young outfielder not only find more consistent success but tap into his raw power against tougher pitching is an excellent sign. Even though Jackson Chourio has returned from injury, Lara remains on track to compete for a mid-season promotion.
