This Brewers Prospect Dazzled With Spring Breakout Performance

Jose Anderson shines bright for Brewers in Spring Breakout

The Brewers may have put together one of the best international classes in recent memory with their 2023 group that's led by Jesus Made and Luis Pena, but a less-heralded signing was that of Jose Anderson, an outfielder from the Dominican Republic who signed for $60,000.

Anderson crushed an 0-1 breaking ball over the left-center field wall for a two-run homer. 

Last season in the DSL, Anderson hit .283 with ten doubles, eight homers, 15 stolen bases, and a .915 OPS. They're great numbers, albeit somewhat overshadowed by Made and Pena, but power that's developed enough at that age and at that level is rarely seen with his eight home runs. 

Anderson ranked 41st on my Top 50 Brewers Prospects list this spring. He'll be stateside this year, likely starting in extended spring training and the Arizona Complex League. But there's a chance he could move himself up to Low-A this year if he can get on the fast track and continue this type of performance.

In a lineup filled with top talent, Jose Anderson was the last one to bat, ninth in the order. Yet he plays nothing like a hitter at the bottom of the order. The Brewers ended up losing 9-7.

Still just 18 years old, Anderson appears to be a budding talent that Brewers fans will need to keep an eye on.
