Which Brewers Non-Roster Invitee is under most pressure to succeed?

My interpretation of who is under the most pressure this spring training is 3B prospect Lucas Erceg. This is his second consecutive invite to Brewers camp, but unlike last season, he needs to perform well this year.

Once a highly regarded prospect in the Brewers system, Erceg has seen his prospect status fall quite a bit over the last 12 months.

Why does Erceg need to stand out this year?

Heading into the 2019 season, the Brewers already had an everyday third baseman in Travis Shaw. Shaw was coming off a tremendous season in which he hit a career-high 32 home runs.
