Lara was promoted to High-A Wisconsin on Monday, Ben Badler of Baseball America reports.
Lara -- as an 18 year old -- posted a .733 OPS and 39:46 BB:K over 318 PA with Single-A Carolina, and the Brewers are ready to give him a shot at the next level. If he can maintain that type of plate discipline he will have a shot to rise up prospect rankings in the coming years.

Brewers' Luis Lara: Reaching base regularly
Rotowire
Lara went 16-for-38 (.421) with three doubles, three RBI, four stolen bases and a 11:4 BB:K over his last 10 games with Single-A Carolina.
Lara has shined since making his first appearance with Carolina in early May, and through 154 plate appearances he owns a .323 batting average and .448 OBP -- marks that would both rank second in the Carolina League if he qualified. That's not too shabby for a prospect who will not turn 19 years old until November.
