He finished second in the Midwest League in triples and was named to the MiLB.com Organization All-Star team that year. He hit .255 with a .396 on-base percentage and 33 stolen bases in 110 games for the Brevard County Manatees in 2014 after being named the Brewers' 15th-best prospect by MLB.com heading into the season. He was named Player of the Week during the week of May 5. He led the Florida State League in walks and was second in stolen bases as well.
