The Milwaukee Brewers have been relatively thin at the first base position throughout the system for years now. The Brewers have been searching for a long term replacement at first since Prince Fielder left in free agency. Previous attempts were made by Mat Gamel, Hunter Morris, Adam Lind, and Chris Carter among others.
There are no true first base prospects in the Brewers farm system. Jake Gatewood is currently playing first base for the Carolina Mudcats, but he’s best suited for third base. He’s only playing first base now after Lucas Erceg forced him off the position.
