2024 Fantasy Outlook
Black has been a top-400 prospect since he was drafted with the 33rd overall pick in 2021 and he fully broke out last year across Double-A and Triple-A. The second baseman turned outfielder turned third baseman reached new heights as a stolen-base threat, swiping 55 bases on 67 attempts (82.1% success rate) in 123 games. He also unlocked a new level as a slugger, at least against righties, posting an ISO over .200 and a SLG over .500 at both stops. Scouting reports and hard-hit metrics suggest Black's game power will be capped at around 15-20 homers in the majors, but he has a good enough eye at the plate that he should get the most of his fringe-average raw power. He is a plus runner with good instincts, but dynasty and redraft managers shouldn't expect anything close to the 55 steals he logged last season in the minors. Perhaps he could steal 30 bases if he gets everyday at-bats and meets expectations as an on-base threat (career .415 OBP in the minors). It's going to be tricky for Milwaukee to find a defensive home for Black, as he is a below-average defender everywhere and may just need to be hidden at first base and designated hitter. He could also sit against lefties, against whom his power and plate skills are less impressive. As of November, no third-base eligible Brewer had a higher NFBC ADP than Black, despite the fact he hasn't debuted yet. Read Past Outlooks
Sent to minor-league camp
The Brewers reassigned Black to minor-league camp Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Black entered camp seemingly with a shot to win a wide-open competition at third base, but that job looks as though it could go to Joey Ortiz to begin the season. The top prospect could still get a look with the big club sooner rather than later if he can get off to a nice start at Triple-A Nashville.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
After playing just 26 games in 2021, Black took a beating in 2022, as he played only 64 games at High-A due to a fractured scapula and his Arizona Fall League season was cut short due to a broken thumb. Along the way, Black showcased an elite eye at the plate and above-average speed on the bases. The lefty hitter saw the most time at second base and center field last season, and his below-average arm limits his defensive versatility. He hit .280 with an OBP north of .400 and 17 steals on 24 attempts across 81 games at High-A and the AFL, but his line-drive swing produced just five home runs. Black turns 23 in July and will be making his Double-A debut this season, so he needs to either get good enough in the field to play every day as a Kolten Wong caliber hitter who sits against some lefties, or he needs to adjust his launch angle (48.7 GB%) to access 20-homer power.
