Back in the 2016 MLB draft, the Brewers selected him. Now two years later, Roscetti is playing single A ball for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers and is absolutely lighting up stat sheets.
The 24 year old has played predominately second base, but in the past has played at short and third as well. The Milwaukee Brewers might have another great infielder on their hands.
So far in 2018, Roscetti is second on the team in batting average and RBI’s. He also boasts the least amount of strikeouts for anyone who has played in over ten games. All that leads to an impressive 123 wRC+ to start the year. The one knock to his season is that he leads the team with five errors.
here is not a lot of hype coming from players drafted in the 26th round. There are a few names like Joe Biagini and Scott Schebler who have made it to the MLB, but not many others. It is also worth noting that Milwaukee Brewers prospect Mauricio Dubon was a 26th rounder back in 2013. The hype builds with good play, but it might take awhile.
Roscetti is doing his best to bring his name into relevancy in 2018. That being said, he has yet to play more than 45 games in a season. He is off to a phenomenal start, and there is no reason he cannot keep it up, but he will be exposed to a longer schedule this year. His low strikeout totals are something to be excited about going forward, and he should be able to put up good numbers.
