Spring Training for the Milwaukee Brewers grows closer each day, and its arrival will provide a look inside the depth the Brewers have at each position.

Before we are afforded the opportunity to see players take the field, I have taken the time to construct previews for several position groups. Most recently, I dove into what the depth at first and second base looks like for Milwaukee heading into 2026.

Now, it is time to see what third base looks like.

Caleb Durbin: The Brewers acquired Durbin in the December 2024 trade that sent right-hander Devin Williams to the New York Yankees. He made his debut on April 18, 2025, and spent most of the season at third base after the Brewers had to move Joey Ortiz to shortstop following the departure of Willy Adames to the San Francisco Giants in free agency.

Durbin appeared in 131 games at third base (119 starts), serving as a steadying presence throughout the season. Through 1,060.7 innings, Durbin registered a .979 fielding percentage with only six errors. He saw brief time at second base and shortstop as well, but third base became his mainstay.

The Brewers would benefit from Durbin taking a leap in his second season to anchor the position.

Joey Ortiz: Ortiz spent most of the 2024 season playing at third base for the Brewers before switching to shortstop full time in 2025.

Through 134 games (124 starts) in 2024 at third base, Ortiz logged a .971 fielding percentage through 1,098.3 full innings. He is more than capable of playing the position if needed and has the experience to make an impact.

As an offensive player, he regressed across multiple statistical metrics, and the Brewers will need him to at least be relatively consistent at the plate.

Andruw Monasterio: As I previously mentioned in the previews for Milwaukee’s depth at first and second base, Monasterio has experience playing all over the infield, though most of his reps in 2025 came at shortstop.

Monasterio logged eight games (five starts) at third base in 2025 and had a 1.000 fielding percentage across 48 innings. In previous seasons, he has spent much more time at the position, making him an experienced candidate for the Brewers to rely on.

Anthony Seigler: Like Durbin, Seigler spent most of his rookie season at third base, though his sample size was much smaller than Durbin’s. Seigler appeared in 34 games, 25 of which (16 starts) were at third base. He played 129.3 innings at third and logged a .947 fielding percentage.

It will be interesting to see what kind of impact Seigler makes in Spring Training and how his role will be defined in 2026.
