Three months ago, Milwaukee Brewers infield and outfield prospect Oliver Dunn was named the 2023 Arizona Fall League Breakout Player of the Year. This week, he visits the Jack Vita Show!

Dunn entered the AFL as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies organization. Dunn was a late addition to the Scottsdale Scorpions roster, not expecting to receive a great deal of playing time. Dunn slashed .343/.455/1.071 over 19 games, racking up six doubles, four triples, two home runs, 11 RBI and 12 stolen bases. Dunn quickly became a regular fixture in the Scorpions' lineup, and was named a Fall Star, starting for the National League team in the Fall Stars Game.

Days after the conclusion of the of the Fall League, Dunn was informed that the Phillies had traded him to the Brewers in exchange for Hendry Mendez and Robert Moore. Dunn tells the story of when he found out he was traded, while he was on his honeymoon, and shares his excitement to join the Brewers organization. He was added to the 40-man roster and will be heading out to Arizona for spring training in a matter of days.

Dunn, 26, was selected by the New York Yankees in the 11th round of the 2019 MLB Draft out of the University of Utah. Dunn spent four years in the Yankees farm system, however, the club chose not to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft upon the conclusion of the 2022 season. Dunn was selected by the Phillies with the final pick of the Rule 5 Draft.

In 2023, Dunn played 119 games at Double-A Reading, where he slashed .271/.396/.902 with 21 home runs and 78 RBI. Now, as a member of the Brewers active roster entering spring training, Dunn has a chance to crack the club's big league roster.

Dunn had a relatively low profile prior to last season and his showing at the AFL, but he recently MLB Pipeline's top 30 prospects rankings (no. 24) within the Brewers' system.

Dunn speaks with Jack about his time in the Fall League, the Fall League pitchers and hitters that impressed him the most, what it was like being traded, what the baseball scene is like in Utah (could Salt Lake City ever get an MLB franchise?), his love for UFC, the NFL playoffs, NCAA conference realignment and the death of the Pac-12, college baseball, his excitement to play in Milwaukee, and much, much more!
