The Brewers have one of the deepest prospect pools in baseball and were ranked the number one farm system by ESPN at the end of January. These future members of the Brew Crew will once again get chances to showcase their skills in the third annual Spring Breakout Games, where each MLB club sends its top minor league prospects to compete against other future stars.Â
The Brewers’ Spring Breakout Stars will get the chance to play two games this year: March 20th against the Mariners in Phoenix, Ariz., at 5:10 and March 22nd against the Athletics in Mesa, Ariz., at 4:05. Both games will be available to watch on MLB Network, with the March 22nd game also available on Amazon.Â
Rosters were announced on Thursday, with an initial pool of 40 players. Game-day rosters are due March 18th, with anywhere from 23 to 27 players. This is a new change this year to address prospects playing in the World Baseball Classic, which runs until March 17th.Â
The Brewers’ 40-player pool contains 23 of their top 30 prospects from the just-released MLB Pipeline rankings. These players range from being on the verge of making the big-league roster to just beginning their professional careers.Â
Four shortstop prospects headline the group for Milwaukee. Jesús Made, Luis Peña, Jett Williams, and Cooper Pratt are the top four prospects in the Brewers’ system and are all skyrocketing towards the big leagues.Â
Andrew Fischer is the next highest prospect on the list, coming in at number 6 for the Brewers. The Brewers’ first-round pick from last year will look to continue succeeding after a strong start with the Timber Rattlers in only 19 games last year.
Jeferson Quero, the Brewers’ No. 8 prospect, is one of three catchers selected to the roster as he looks to prove he can be a part of the team’s future behind the plate.
Bishop Letson, the lone pitcher on this list in the Brewers’ top ten prospects, was very good for the Timber Rattlers last year but struggled in a lone game at Double-A Biloxi. The Brewers’ second-round pick in 2025 and No. 16 prospect in their farm system, JD Thompson, will look to turn heads as well.
