Wisconsin Timber Rattler outfielder Joey Wiemer was named as a First-Team outfielder for 2021 All-Prospect team. Read Sam Dykstra's article at MLB Pipeline on the 2021 All-Prospect at this link to see some of the other top prospects to make both the First and Second Teams.

Here is Dykstra's entry on Wiemer:

OF: Joey Wiemer (**MIL No. 23**)
A/A+: .295/.403/.556, 109 G, 27 HR, 77 RBI, 86 R, 63 BB, 30 SB

The 2020 fourth-rounder brought an all-out swing, good speed and 70-grade arm to the Minors for the first time this summer. Wiemer joined Volpe and Bobby Witt Jr. in the exclusive 25-25 club, and his ability to slug the ball only got better as the season went on. He hit .336/.428/.719 with 14 homers in only 34 games at High-A Wisconsin following a mid-August promotion. Wiemer’s vicious swing could catch up to him at the upper levels, but it certainly worked wonders for him in 2021.
