One of the biggest storylines for the Brewers entering the year is if Keston Hiura can rebound after a pair of rough seasons. After a successful rookie season that saw him post a stellar 139 wRC+, Hiura’s output fell to an 87 wRC+ in 2020. Last season, he collapsed, slashing just .168/.256/.301 for a 52 wRC+.
Hiura has been a star for the Brewers in the early stages of this spring’s shortened camp. In four games through Wednesday night, he has tallied three extra-base hits (two home runs and a double) while slashing .500/.583/1.200.
His performance on Wednesday evening may have further fueled hopes of a bounce back.
