Mitchell was the starting centerfielder in all fifteen games played by the Bruins in his junior season and hit .355 with an OPS of .909 before the COVID-19 shutdown. Mitchell made his professional debut playing in the Cactus League with the Brewers during Spring Training by appearing in 22 games, going 11-for-30 with a homer, six RBI, and an OPS of .973.
Ten of the twelve first round picks signed by Milwaukee since 2008 have worn a Timber Rattlers jersey. Mitchell will become the eleventh.
This will not be Mitchell’s first trip to the Midwest. In 2018, he was a member of the Mankato MoonDogs, a team in the Northwoods League.
The remainder of the Timber Rattlers roster will be announced in conjunction with the team’s departure from the Brewers Spring Training complex in Maryvale, Arizona on May 1.
Manager Matt Erickson will lead Mitchell and the rest of the Timber Rattlers into the first game of the season on Tuesday, May 4 against the Beloit Snappers. Game time is 6:35pm. The only tickets remaining for Opening Night are grass seating and Home Run Porch seating. There are a limited number of tickets remaining for the other five games (May 5 through May 9) of the first homestand.
Individual game tickets for the second homestand of the season went on sale on April 20 and are available now. Ticket packages for 2021 are also available.
