Well he is slugging .505 at the AAA level. Still though, Matt Lipka has raked at
AAA Reno. Now it looks like he will try to do the same thing in Nashville as
Milwaukee picked him up in exchange for cash considerations

Lipka has yet to get an opportunity beyond AAA. Until 2019, Lipka swung a bit of
a light stick and really did not get on base. However while with the Yankees AAA
affiliate, Scraton Wilkes-Barre, he did put up a slash line of .281/.361/.453
across 72 plate appearances. While with the Yankees AA affiliate, Trenton, Lipka
dropped down a bunt hit in the ninth inning to break up a no-hitter. Death
threats evidently came his way as a result.He did not play in 2020 as he was not
picked up by the Dodgers player pool in the COVID-19 shortened season. Since
there was no minor league season, he got no reps on a professional baseball
field. In 2021, however, he has put up the best numbers of his professional
career. Right now he is slashing .333/.393/.505. It is possible the Brewers are
looking to capture lightening in a bottle with a late-bloomer. Most likely,
Lipka will serve as organizational depth. Nonetheless, David Stearns and Company
are always looking to improve the Milwaukee Brewers organization, not just the
Brewers team, and they likely see Lipka in that light.Baseball statistics
