Brewers Snag Speedy Outfielder for Double-A

0:00On April 22nd, Milwaukee Brewers just scooped up a speedy outfielder for their double-A squad in Velluxi. 25-year-old Mark Coley, the second signed on Wednesday after getting released by the Miami Marlins. He's joining the shuckers to add some depth right away. Coley was a 17th-round pick by the Marlins back in 2023 out of the University of Rhode Island. He logged 225 games across their farm system, but got bounced last Friday. In the past month alone, they shuffled him to four affiliates without him even playing a single game. Folks see him as a leg's first guy, swiping 61 bags while getting caught just 11 times. He handles centerfield in over half his games, and his slash line set at 249 over 344, slash 404. Not flashy, but solid enough. This year he smashed 12 homers in 113 games, though his average dipped to 226. College-wise, he never topped 37 games a season, but posted an 880 OPS that caught eyes.

1:03Brewers likely grab him for that outfield insurance, up high in the minors, maybe eyeing ways to tap his raw speed even more. Keeps their pipeline humming smooth. That's your update from Milwaukee Brewers News today, powered by AI.
