Tyler Black fractured his left thumb sliding into second base yesterday in the Arizona Fall League so his season is over two weeks prematurely. Finished with a .279/.413/.377 slash line in 76 PAs in the AFL. Black is @MLBPipeline’s No. 6 Brewers prospect.

The twenty-two-year-old was a 2021 first-round pick by the Brewers and is considered one of the top prospects in the organization.
This past season, Black slashed a solid .281/.406/.424, with four home runs, 35 RBIs, 13 stolen bases and 45 runs scored over 64 games played at the High-A level.
He is the Brewers' sixth-ranked prospect.
