![]() 200 with one home run, six RBIs, and nine stolen bases. 287/.384/.376 with two home runs, 31 RBIs, and 21 stolen bases over 82 games with Wisconsin, he was promoted to the Carolina Mudcats in July. Turnag began 2019 with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, earning Midwest League All-Star honors. 283 with one home run, 18 RBIs, and 14 stolen bases. In 42 games between the two clubs, Turang batted. He signed for a $3.4 million signing bonus and was assigned to the Arizona League Brewers before being promoted to the Helena Brewers in August. The Milwaukee Brewers selected Turang in the first round, with the 21st overall selection, of the 2018 Major League Baseball draft. Turang committed to Louisiana State University (LSU) to play college baseball. 465 and struck out only once in 101 at-bats. ![]() 475 with two home runs and 27 runs batted in (RBIs). As a freshman he was named the National Freshman of the Year by MaxPreps after hitting. Turang attended Santiago High School in Corona, California. At 29 and with his injury history, he feels like a pretty safe bet to slip through waivers, but it’s always possible that a team will remember his deadly changeup and take a flier on him.Brice Craig Turang (born November 21, 1999) is an American professional baseball infielder for the Milwaukee Brewers of Major League Baseball (MLB). ![]() His command issues never improved, either: he walked five hitters in just 7.1 innings last year, and issued four free passes in two Cactus League outings in March. He turned plenty of heads at the start of 2019 with a masterful changeup and Scott Servais’s willingness to throw him into high leverage spots, but oblique and shoulder injuries have wreaked havoc on his career the past year and a half. To make room for Nottingham, former Rule 5 pick Brandon Brennan drew the DFA card. He and Cal Raleigh should be a blast to watch for the Rainiers. The minor league season starts next week, though, and Torrens has one option remaining, so he should be given plenty of time to work on his issues in a low-pressure, yet still competitive environment. In all, his performance after a promising 2020 has been one of the biggest bummers in the young season. He hasn’t had a hit since the 15th, going 0-for-21, his batted balls have either been on the ground or popped straight up, and his defense - though still not catastrophic, in my view - has taken a few steps back. I have to assume that this is the temporary end of the road for Luis Torrens ( at least after tonight’s game) after a hot first couple of weeks that was pretty BABIP-fueled, he’s crashed back down and through the earth. With Seattle getting just a 20 wRC+ from the catcher spot so far, the bar for him to make an impact has been set pretty low.Ĭrucially, Nottingham is out of minor league options, and thus was not optioned to the Alternate Site - meaning a corresponding move will come when he reports to the club. Having turned 26 in April, he’s young enough that there’s still some intrigue in his bat, and his defense looks to be passable. He hasn’t played in the Majors in 2021 yet, due to recovering from thumb surgery in December and old friend Omar Narváez destroying worlds on both sides of the ball as Milwaukee’s starting catcher. 200 and a double digit walk rate en route to a 94 wRC+, but that’s come with a bundle of strikeouts, including 37% (!) in 2020. In that span, he’s put up an ISO north of. You might remember Nottingham more for being part of trade packages for Scott Kazmir and Khris Davis rather than as a player, but he’s held his own in 85 plate appearances over three seasons with the Brewers.
