Jadher Areinamo Producing Great Results At The Plate
Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jadher Areinamo was signed out of Venezuela in 2021. He's a talented hitter with an aggressive mentality at the plate. As a result, he draws very few walks, but he has also kept his strikeout rate relatively low. On a less positive note, his power is nearly nonexistent; he's averaging just one homer in every 37 games since starting his pro career in the United States. He doesn't have a lot of speed but is still a threat to steal bases with his baseball IQ. Defensively, he has an average arm but possesses the adequate glovework needed to play second base, third base, or shortstop. He'll likely wind up at the keystone long-term, but his versatility is valuable nonetheless. Areinamo looked great at the plate last week, going 11-for-23 (.478) with one homer, 10 RBI, two walks, and two strikeouts. He also continued to be a threat on the basepaths, swiping five bags on five attempts. The Brewers have to be pleased about the 20-year-old's contributions at the plate so far this season.
