"The Brewers named Black their Co-Minor League Player of the Year in 2023 alongside current star outfielder Jackson Chourio. The Canadian Baseball Network also honoured Black with that year's Randy Echlin Award as the top Canuck hitter in the minor leagues. Black made his MLB debut with Milwaukee as a 23-year-old the following year. He started six games at first base and made ten appearances as a designated hitter."
"Black entered 2025 vying for a spot on the Brewers' Opening Day roster but quickly found himself derailed by injuries. He missed the beginning of spring training with a back strain, then needed surgery on his right hand to repair a broken hamate bone. Following an extended multi-month recovery, Black made a brief stint in the Arizona Complex League before returning to Triple-A Nashville, where he spent most of 2024 after failing to stick in MLB."
Tyler Black was selected 33rd overall in the 2021 MLB Draft by the Milwaukee Brewers as the first Canadian pick. Scouts graded him as an above-average hitter, solid fielder, and deceptively good baserunner after an impressive collegiate career. He earned Co-Minor League Player of the Year honors in 2023 and received the Randy Echlin Award as the top Canadian minor-league hitter. Black debuted in MLB at age 23, starting six games at first base and appearing ten times as a designated hitter. Injuries in 2025 included a back strain and hamate surgery, followed by rehab stints and Triple-A time where he slashed .243/.369/.360 with four home runs, 34 RBIs, and a 16.2% walk rate across 61 games.
