Brewers' Tristen Lutz: Heading to High-A level

Lutz will begin his season with High-A Carolina, according to Mike Rosenbaum of MLB.com.

Lutz did not post eye-popping numbers while spending the entire 2018 season with Low-A Wisconsin, but he showed marked improvement as the season wore on, posting an .802 OPS in 61 games after the Midwest League All-Star break compared to just a .677 OPS in 58 games before the cut-off. Lutz was a competitive-balance pick for the Brewers just two years ago, and the promotion signals the club is confident the strides he made last season will carry over to the 2019 campaign.
