Last year, the Mudcats came to Segra Park and showcased one of the top 10 prospects in all of baseball, Jackson Chourio, who is now in Double-A Biloxi. This season, they're led by another outfielder, Luis Lara. Lara is young-at just 18-years-old, but is one of three players the Brewers signed for more than $1 million in their last International Signing Period. Lara hasn't skipped a beat, hitting .310 and scoring 39 runs in his first 52 games in full season ball. Shortstop Daniel Guilarte was called up pretty quickly this season, just five games after the ACL season began. Guilarte is crushing the ball, hitting .292 with 22 RBI in his first 33 Carolina League games. Another teenager, Jadher Areinamo, is hitting nearly .300 as a utility infielder. He's rose his way from a fringe-prospect to the 18th-best prospect in the Brewers system according to MLB Pipeline.
