Milwaukee Brewers
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The carpet was laid out for Mitchell last spring. He had secured a regular role in the Milwaukee outfield and was coming off a strong first cup of major-league coffee in 2022. Unfortunately, though, he suffered significant damage to the labrum in his left shoulder in the 18th game of the 2023 regular season and required a surgical procedure that kept him out until late September. Mitchell was then left off the Brewers' roster for their Wild Card Series matchup against the Diamondbacks, and his standing within the organization was even further clouded by the record eight-year, $82 million contract doled out to top outfield prospect Jackson Chourio in early December. Mitchell has great speed and a mature plate approach, but he'll need steady playing time to make it count. Chourio now projects to be the Opening Day center fielder, with Christian Yelich and Sal Frelick flanking him in the corners. Fourth outfielders don't usually carry fantasy relevance.

September 14, 2024
Mitchell went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, three walks and three total runs scored in Saturday's 15-8 win over the Diamondbacks.
ANALYSIS
Mitchell hadn't drawn a walk while going a poor 5-for-27 (.185) over his first nine games in September. He was able to turn things around with a huge performance Saturday in just his third game of the year from the cleanup spot. The outfielder is up to a .258/.349/.460 slash line with six homers, 17 RBI, 28 runs scored, seven stolen bases, 11 doubles and two triples through 57 contests this year.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
It was a tale of three seasons for Mitchell. The 6-foot-3 center fielder was dreadful for his first 29 games at Double-A, logging a .676 OPS and 32.3 K% before suffering an oblique injury. He returned in mid-July and tallied a .356/.419/.515 slash line with three home runs, 10 steals and a 20.3 K% in 34 games between Double-A and Triple-A. The big difference seemed to be that Mitchell reverted to his approach from UCLA, where he was working more as a table setter than someone who was regularly looking to put his plus raw power to use in games. Milwaukee diverted from their attempts to unlock that power in games and just let him be the most effective version of himself. That approach earned him a late-season call-up. In the majors, Mitchell's 41.2 K% and .548 BABIP scream regression, but he nonetheless managed to be worth a full win above replacement while hitting .311 with two home runs and eight steals in 28 games. The Brewers have an uncertain outfield depth chart, but Mitchell should be given a chance to win the starting center field job in spring training.
Mitchell brings a dazzling array of tools to the table, but his ability to leverage them consistently in games is in question. He slid to the Brewers with the No. 20 overall pick in last year's draft, in part due to him having Type 1 diabetes. The UCLA product logged an elite 12.0 K% and a 9.0 BB% in 366 PA over his sophomore and junior campaigns. While he hit around .350 in each of those seasons, Mitchell had just six home runs in 77 games, despite showing off plus raw power in batting practice. He can ambush mistakes over the plate, but he typically brings a contact-oriented approach to the dish. The Brewers will likely attempt to unlock more power, and a swing change would delay his arrival in the majors. For now, 70-grade speed is the top selling point in dynasty. A quad injury limited his reps in the fall instructional league, so he could be pretty rusty when he reports to spring training.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Getting discussed in trade talks
OFMilwaukee Brewers
July 26, 2024
Mitchell's name has come up in trade talks involving the Brewers, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Murray notes that he's unsure how willing the Brewers would be to trade Mitchell, especially since the club is reportedly seeking left-handed bats and Christian Yelich's status is uncertain due to back woes. Mitchell missed most of 2023 following shoulder surgery and didn't make his season debut in 2024 until July because of a fractured finger. He's under team control through 2028.
