4 years agoMilwaukee Brewers infielder Keston Hiura played first base and went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Sunday's spring opener. Hiura wasted no time socking his first homer of the spring, going deep in the first exhibition at-bat. His punchout problems persisted, though, as he was rung up in his next two at-bats. The Brewers will live with Hiura's lack of contact, and he figures to be in the lineup nearly every day. However, the bulk of his starts figure to come at first base and not at the keystone, the position he played in his first two seasons at the big-league level. Hiura will need to cut down on the strikeouts, but he has all the tools to become an elite hitter in this league. He's worth a shot in most drafts and likely will be eligible at both first and second base in most league formats.--James Stokke
