Brewers first-base prospect David Denson made history on Saturday by becoming the first active player with a big league organization to reveal he's gay.
While Denson's announcement in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel could overshadow his playing ability, he's also notable for having some of the best raw power in the Brewers' system. Ranked No. 27 on MLBPipeline.com's Brewers Top 20 Prospects list, he's compiled a .229/.313/.360 slash line with five home runs in 65 games this season between low Class A Wisconsin and Rookie-level Helena.
Denson, who is 6-foot-3 and 254 pounds, signed for $100,000 as a 15th-round Draft pick out of South Hills High in West Covina, Calif.
