Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Tyler Black was optioned to Triple-A Nashville after a brief MLB stint with the Brewers. Despite posting a .333/.357/.481 slash line in 9 games with 7 RBIs, his underlying metrics were concerning: .369 wOBA vs .192 xwOBA, 25% strikeout rate, and only 15% hard-hit rate. However, he has shown promise with swing adjustments, reducing his swing tilt from 37-39 degrees to 35 degrees to improve bat path consistency and contact quality. He was optioned to make room for Christian Yelich's return from injury, with limited DH/first base opportunities available on the Brewers roster.

- - Massive gap between actual performance (.369 wOBA) and expected performance (.192 xwOBA)
