2023 Fantasy Outlook
This doesn't usually happen, but Frelick has been the exact player the Brewers hoped they were getting when they selected him out of Boston College with the No. 15 overall pick in 2021. A speedy 5-foot-10 center fielder with a potentially plus-plus hit tool, Frelick hit .331/.404/.480 with an 11.3 K%, 9.3 BB%, 11 home runs and 24 steals in a full season spread across the top three levels of the minors. His production for Triple-A Nashville was particularly eye-popping, as he had 16 strikeouts, 19 walks and a .365 average in 46 games. Power (21.1 Hard%) and arm strength are his two weakest tools, but it's hard not to envision a throwback premium leadoff hitter who hits for a high average and scores a ton of runs while stealing around 20 bags. Frelick is probably the best overall player of Garrett Mitchell and Esteury Ruiz, and the Brewers arguably have the most invested in him of that trio, so he is a good bet to win consistent work in center and left field at some point this season.

Cleared for baseball activities
Frelick (thumb) was recently cleared to resume light baseball activities, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Frelick was expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks after undergoing surgery April 25 to repair the UCL in his left thumb, and that recovery timeline remains roughly intact. According to Brewers farm director Tom Flanagan, Frelick will likely take part in rehab games with Milwaukee's Arizona Complex League affiliate in early-to-mid June once he's deemed ready for action, but the outfielder should eventually settle back into an everyday role at Triple-A Nashville. Frelick will still have a chance at making his MLB debut later in the summer if he can hit the ground running once he returns to action for Nashville.
