Sal Frelick and Alex Binelas are two Milwaukee Brewers draft picks from 2021 to be mentioned in this <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/draft-picks-2021-strong-impressions-in-pro-debuts?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage" target="blank" title="2021 Pro Debuts">MLB Pipeline_ article by Jim Callis about hot starts.

Here is what Callis had to say about Frelick and Binelas:

Alex Binelas, 3B, Brewers (3rd round, Louisville)
Binelas shook off a rough start to finish strong at Louisville and carried that momentum into pro ball, leading all 2021 draftees with nine home runs while batting .309/.390/.583 in 36 games between Rookie ball and Low-A. He performed better at the higher level, posting a 1.014 OPS and all nine of his homers at Carolina.

Sal Frelick, OF, Brewers (1st round, Boston College)
Frelick went 15th overall in July on the basis of his hitting ability, speed and center-field defense, all of which were on display in his debut. He batted .442 at his first two pro stops before dipping to .167 in High-A, combining for a .329/.414/.466 line with 12 steals in 35 games.
