No Good Reason for Orlando Arcia to Start 2016 with Brewers

Orlando Arcia might be the most exciting prospect to come through the Milwaukee Brewers’ minor league system during this decade. After making some noise with a .738 OPS and plus defense in high-A in 2014, the 21 year old entered the year as the Brewers’ lone representative in the top 100 prospect rankings. He has since shot up those rankings with his incredible 2015 performance: .307/.347/.453 in 129 games while leading the AA Biloxi Shuckers to the best record in the Southern League. He paired his usual excellent defense with some new found extra-base power, smacking 52 extra base hits, and he stole 25 bases as well.
