Gray was promoted to High-A Wisconsin on Monday.
The Brewers selected Gray with the 60th overall pick in the 2018 first-year player draft, and he progressed to Low-A Carolina to begin the 2021 campaign. He hit .171 across his first two minor-league seasons but turned things around with the Low-A club and slashed .289/.407/.632 with 12 home runs, 53 RBI, 40 runs and 12 stolen bases in 51 games.

Brewers' Joe Gray: Tearing it up at Low-A
Rotowire
Gray has gone 23-for-75 (.307) with seven home runs, 28 RBI, 20 runs, six steals and an 11:26 BB:K over his last 20 games with Low-A Carolina.
Gray had a rough go of it at the plate in both 2018 and 2019, but he's starting show the potential that made him a second-round pick back in 2018. At 21 years old, Gray is only slightly younger than the average player in the Low-A East league, and that bodes well for both his prospect status and his chances of moving up a level or two later this season.
