With Opening Day less than two weeks away, Brew Crew Ball’s preview of each position for the Brewers continues. Next up: second base.
Kolten Wong
Wong reprises his duties as the starting second baseman for the Crew as he enters the second guaranteed year of the two-year contract he signed in February 2021.
The 31-year-old’s calling card is his glove, which is what drew the Brewers to him as they assembled their elite run-prevention unit. Wong’s defense was strong once again last season; he accumulated 6 Defensive Runs Saved and 2 Outs Above Average in 937 innings at the keystone.
