Keston Hiura

Hiura was designated for assignment by the Brewers just before Opening Day in 2023, and he remained at the Triple-A level for the entire season. He once again mashed at the highest level of the minors with 23 homers and a .960 OPS in 85 games, but a 24.5 percent strikeout rate likely wasn't enough of an improvement for the Brewers to warrant giving him another look. The 27-year-old clubbed 14 homers in just 80 games in 2022 but struck out at a 41.7 percent clip, and his proven power potential should be enough to land him a minor-league contract for 2024 after he elected free agency in October. Unless Hiura is able to notably improve his contact skills, however, he's unlikely to be a factor in the big leagues. Read Past Outlooks
