Canadians Tyler Black and Dylan O’Rae have been named infielders on the Milwaukee Brewers’ Organization All-Star team, assembled by MILB.com.

The team was unveiled on Monday.

Black, 20, was named third baseman on the squad. The Stouffville, Ont., native split 2023 between the double-A Biloxi Shuckers and the triple-A Nashville Sounds, batting a combined .284 with a .417 on-base percentage (OBP) in 123 games. The Toronto Mets and Butler Prospects alum had 25 doubles, 12 triples, 18 home runs, 73 RBIs, 105 runs and 55 stolen bases. His combined 12 triples were the most in the entire affiliated minor league ranks and he also topped Brewers’ minor leaguers in runs, stolen bases and extra-base hits (55).

For his efforts, he was named a Southern League All-Star and the Brewers co-Minor League Player of the Year.

O’Rae, 19, was named second baseman on the Brewers’ Organization team. Before he received a promotion in August, the Great Lake Canadians and Junior National alum was leading the Rookie Ball Arizona Complex League in OBP (.522) and stolen bases (28) and was fourth in batting (.362).

The Sarnia, Ont., native continued to showcase tremendous plate discipline in the class-A Carolina League, batting .330 with a .439 OBP in 23 games for the Carolina Mudcats. He also added 16 stolen bases to finish with a combined 44 steals. This made him one of just two players in the affiliated minor league ranks to register at least 40 stolen bases in 60 or fewer games.

In total, the Brewers’ 2022 third-round pick hit a combined .349 with a .491 OBP and 57 walks in 60 games.
