23-year old righty swinging outfielder Matt LaPorta is on the fast track to the major leagues with the Brewers. He has converted from 1B to the outfield and that will get him to the big leagues much quicker. He is the #1 prospect in the entire minor league system of the Brewers according to Baseball America’s Prospect Handbook. LaPorta has played in 31 games in AA-ball this season and he is 38 for 111 (.342 avg, 1.157 OPS) with 28 runs scored, 10 homers and 36 RBIs. Another impressive thing about LaPorta is that he has only whiffed 19 times this season which is solid for a power hitter. He will be on the Brewers before September, book it!
