Brhet Bewley

Bewley nearly died his senior year of high school after contracting pneumonia with MRSA. He needed three surgeries to clear fluid from his lungs and lost 17 pounds in a 15-day hospital stay, but ultimately pulled through. Bewley made a storybook return to the diamond for his high school team a month later, and went on to become a three-year contributor at San Diego. Bewley is just 5-foot-11, 182 pounds but led the Toreros this spring with eight home runs and 44 RBIs as their starting third baseman and cleanup hitter. He is an agile enough athlete to play second base, but produced enough at third despite profile questions. Some pro teams prefer to wait on Bewley until next year when he’ll be a senior sign, but others like his toughness and productivity enough to take him now.
