Okay, let’s talk about Brock Wilken. This guy has been on my radar for a while now, and I finally got to dive deep into his profile.

I first noticed him when the Milwaukee Brewers announced they’d agreed to terms with him after picking him in the first round of the 2023 draft. I mean, a first-round pick? That’s gotta mean something, right? So I started digging.
First thing I did was check out his stats from college. And let me tell you, they’re insane. The guy led the ACC in home runs in 2023 with 31. Thirty-one! He also topped the charts in walks and runs. This guy can hit, and he’s got patience at the plate.
- 31 home runs in a single season? That’s crazy good.
- Leading the conference in walks means he’s not just swinging at everything. Smart player.
- Scoring 90 runs shows he’s not just hitting home runs; he’s getting on base and contributing.
Then I found out he was invited to the Brewers’ spring training. Okay, now we’re talking. This isn’t just some college star; he’s getting a shot with the big boys. It made me even more curious about his potential.
I also learned that one of his coaches at Wake Forest had a connection to the Brewers. Maybe that’s a good sign? Having someone who knows the organization could help him adjust to the pros.
I watched some interviews with him, and I gotta say, I like the kid. He seems humble and focused. He talked about growing up playing ball in Florida and how that helped him. Seems like he’s got a good head on his shoulders.

There was this one story I read about him giving a young fan a special memory after a game. That kind of stuff matters. It shows he’s not just about himself.
My Overall Impression
This Brock Wilken guy is the real deal. He’s got the talent, the stats, and the right attitude. I’m really excited to see what he does in the Brewers’ organization. I think we’ll be hearing his name a lot in the coming years. I really think he has a bright future ahead of him. I am so excited about him!
I’ll definitely be following his progress closely. And you can bet I’ll be sharing updates as I find out more. Stay tuned!
