While Milwaukee has been the recipient of recent criticism when it comes to adding major league payroll, they continue to perform excellently in the regular season. Not only is Milwaukee coming off an NL Central crown, but they have also built one of the deepest farm systems in Major League Baseball. The top two prospects in their system are well-known in the dynasty community, and both were international signings. However, Milwaukee has quietly stockpiled an extremely intriguing array of pitching prospects who could be set up for big 2026 seasons. Dynasty managers would be wise to get in on them now.

This article is part of a series focusing on each MLB team’s Top 20 prospects for fantasy baseball heading into the 2026 season. Stay tuned for prospect breakdowns for all 30 teams throughout January here at Pitcher List, and be sure to check out all our published pieces in the series here.

 

Top Brewers Prospects

 

The Top Tier

 

1) Jesus Made – SS, 18 YO

2025 Stats (A/A+/AA): .285 AVG | .379 OBP | .413 SLG | 6 HR | 47 SB | 20.6 K% | 12.8 BB%

Signed out of the Dominican Republic back in 2024, Jesus Made has certainly lived up to the expectations. After dominating the DSL in 2024, Made did not struggle with the transition Stateside. The Brewers pushed Made aggressively through their system, reminiscent of how they handled Jackson Chourio. At only 18 years old, Made appears to be on the fast track to the major leagues. A major league debut in 2027 is the most likely scenario. However, the team’s top prospect has an outside chance to force his way to the major leagues as early as 2026.

For dynasty managers, Made has as much upside as almost any prospect in baseball. Made is athletic and twitchy, both defensively and offensively. He has the skills to stick at shortstop and the body frame to project significant upticks with his power. Although the game power is still a work in progress, Made is as polished as they come offensively. He controls the barrel well from both sides of the plate. In his age-17 season, Made posted a 78.6% contact rate, a 24.8% line drive rate, and a 12.8% walk rate. Made is going to be a star both in real life and for dynasty managers.

 

2) Luis Pena -3B/2B/SS, 19 YO

2025 Stats (A/A+): .270 AVG | .335 OBP | .422 SLG | 9 HR | 44 SB | 16.3 K% | 8.1 BB%

The hype surrounding Made has overshadowed some of what Luis Pena was able to accomplish in his first season Stateside. Similar to Made, Pena was also signed back in January of 2024 and played exceptionally well in the DSL. The team saw enough to move Pena to full-season ball, where he continued to put up excellent numbers. Pena is a bit older than Made, but many in the dynasty industry are just as excited about his potential. With quick hands and good speed, Pena remains a premier dynasty prospect. However, he lacks the polish and projectability that Made possesses, which is why he ranks second on this list.

Pena is a strong athlete, but does not have the physical size that Made has. Pena stands at 5’11” and is already relatively filled out. His plus bat speed and good feel for his pull side give him plus power projections, but they are a tick below Made’s. Pena also does not have the maturity that Made has. Pena has an aggressive approach, which will need refinement against tougher competition. His swing can be a bit handsy at times as the barrel gets ahead of his body. Pena is not a perfect prospect, but the success he has had at such a young age speaks volumes to his potential. He is likely to find a long-term home at third base or second base as opposed to shortstop, but remains an excellent dynasty prospect.

 

3) Luke Adams – 3B/1B, 21 YO

2025 Stats (AA): .231 AVG | .417 OBP | .436 SLG | 11 HR | 10 SB | 20.3 K% | 16.5 BB%

Luke Adams‘ prospect ranking is entirely dependent on which site you look at. The largest driver behind his ranking discrepancy is whether or not the list is fantasy-focused. This list is, and Adams ranks toward the top of Milwaukee’s prospects. The team’s 12th-round pick from 2022 has not put up the prettiest stat lines over his first three seasons. However, Adams has never posted a wRC+ below 131. His wRC+ last season was 157. Adams’ value is highest in on-base formats. While he has never hit for particularly high averages, his walk rates have always been exceptional. He is very patient, with a strong understanding of the strike zone, and plus contact skills. This provides Adams with a stable floor moving forward.

Ranking Adams as Milwaukee’s third-best prospect means there is more than just floor in his profile. The 6’4″ corner infielder has also flashed significant power potential. His HR/FB% jumped up above the league average last season. This jump was a direct correlation to an increase in Adams’ pull rate, which bodes well for his future home run projection. Although Adams does not grade as having plus speed, he has shown an ability to steal bases throughout his professional career. His 600 PA pace last season was 19 bases, proving once again he does not project as a zero in this category. Adams has great plate discipline, good contact skills, a strong batted ball profile, and decent stolen base projection. He is one of the most underrated prospects in baseball and could make his major league debut in 2026.

 

4) Cooper Pratt – SS, 21 YO

2025 Stats (AA/AAA): .238 AVG | .343 OBP | .348 SLG | 8 HR | 31 SB | 15.2 K% | 12.7 BB%

Cooper Pratt was the Brewers’ sixth-round pick back in 2023. Taken out of Magnolia Heights High School, scouts quickly fell in love with Pratt’s projectability. That love has kept Pratt’s dynasty value high despite mediocre results over his first two professional seasons. That is not to say that his performances have been bad. In 2024, Pratt posted a 127 wRC+, and in 2025, Pratt posted a 107 wRC+. However, the numbers are not what rank Pratt fourth on this list. What ranks him fourth are the raw skills that Pratt possesses. Standing at 6’4″, Pratt comes with obvious projectability. He hits the ball hard, steals a lot of bases, and is a strong athlete playing a premier position. This is everything dynasty managers look for.

However, offensively, Pratt is still developing. Most of the time, big and projectable prospects struggle with their hit tool. This is not the case for Pratt, who posted a 78.6% contact rate with his double-digit walk rate. However, Pratt does still struggle with pitch recognition. While he is effective at making contact, too often, he is swinging at pitcher’s pitches, which prevents him from tapping into his raw power. While Pratt is still a work in progress, he has an excellent base for dynasty managers to get excited about. His BABIP will see positive regression in 2025, and the game power should be coming. Do not be surprised if Pratt puts together a breakout season in 2026.

 

5) Jeferson Quero– C, 23 YO

2025 Stats (CPX/AAA): .271 AVG | .361 OBP | .478 SLG | 11 HR | 2 SB | 13.6 K% | 10.9 BB%

Coming off an excellent 2023 season, Jeferson Quero was in line to become one of the game’s top catching prospects. Unfortunately, Quero suffered a torn labrum, limiting him to only one game in 2024. Then, Quero dealt with hamstring and left-shoulder injuries in 2025, which limited him again to only 69 games. The good news for dynasty managers is that when on the field, Quero still looked the part. Importantly, his HR/FB rates returned to match his career averages. This helps quiet any concerns over his lingering shoulder problems. Quero also continued to show off strong plate discipline while hitting a ton of line drives. Both bode well for his future value.

Quero is a very solid dynasty prospect. He has the defensive skills to stick behind the plate (although he is currently blocked by William Contreras). Quero also hits for solid pop, with a plus hit tool. The only thing is that Quero does not do any one thing exceptionally. His power is fine, but it is dependent on getting to his pull side. His EV numbers in Triple-A were underwhelming in 2025. Quero is not a threat to steal bases. Quero’s profile projects to be carried by batting average while adding 15-20 home runs a season. With regular playing time at catcher, that is still enough to generate fantasy value for dynasty managers.

 

6) Marco Dinges – C, 22 YO

2025 Stats (A/A+): .300 AVG | .416 OBP | .514 SLG | 13 HR | 5 SB | 19.2 K% | 15.5 BB%

From one catching prospect to another, Marco Dinges lands at sixth on the Brewers’ preseason 2026 top prospects list. While Quero has the upside and proximity to the major leagues, Dinges may have the offensive upside that dynasty managers seek out. Dinges played just one season at Florida State before being selected in the fourth round by the Brewers in the 2024 draft. Through 26 games at Low-A, Dinges was batting .353, at which point the Brewers decided to push him up to High-A. Dinges continued his strong success throughout the season. He is now firmly on radars as a dynasty-relevant prospect.

Dinges has more offensive upside, but ranks behind Quero for a few reasons. There is a lot going on in Dinges’ swing. Dinges loads his hands throughout the pitcher’s wind-up while also relying on a leg-kick for his timing. The result can be some massive home runs to his pull side, but also issues with his hit tool. While his strikeout rate was under 20% last season, his contact rate was a pedestrian 71.8% and dropped to 67.8% following his promotion to High-A. For a former SEC hitter, this is a concern. Dinges’ swing can also get long and inconsistent, which could cause issues at higher levels. Dinges’ success in 2025 lands him at sixth, but his performance in Double-A will provide more clarity into his future projection.

 

7) Josh Adamczewski– 2B, 20 YO

2025 Stats (A/A+): .320 AVG | .420 OBP | .490 SLG | 5 HR | 7 SB | 17.2 K% | 14.0 BB%

When the Brewers selected Josh Adamczewski out of high school in the 15th round of the 2023 draft, nobody batted an eye. Even after his 41-game standout season in 2024, nobody was ready to buy in. Well, Adamczewski once again put up numbers worthy of recognition in 2025. He is finally getting it from those in the dynasty community. The six-foot second baseman is extremely polished. His stance is nothing special, his hands are quiet, and the only lower-body movement is a slight toe tap. Adamczewski controls the strike zone extremely well. He has posted double-digit walk rates each season of his career, while also seeing his contact rates improve in 2025.

Adamczewski has an exciting real-life profile for Milwaukee. However, how much dynasty value is here? He only hit five homers and stole seven bases in 71 games last season. While Adamczewski does not project as a prolific base stealer, he is a good athlete who should be able to steal 8-12 bases in a season. Adamczewski is also growing into his game power. Along with good bat speed, Adamczewski also increased his pull rate by over 4% last season and his fly ball rate by over 7%. This power uptick showed up in the AFL, where Adamczewski crushed four home runs in just 20 games. Already having a great approach with a plus hit tool, the development of power could turn Adamczewski into a significant dynasty prospect. Do not be surprised if he is a breakout prospect in 2026.

 

Prospects Dynasty Managers Should Know

 

8) Brock Wilken – 3B, 23 YO

2025 Stats (AA): .226 AVG | .387 OBP | .489 SLG | 18 HR | 2 SB | 27.0 K% | 20.1 BB%

After being hit by a pitch in the face in 2024, the hope was that Brock Wilken would show some improvements to his batting average in 2025. Unfortunately, it was more of the same for Wilken, who continued to show off impressive power but an underwhelming hit tool. Wilken has a big swing and is overly patient at times. He works counts, takes walks, and strikes out a good amount. He has 30+ home run upside and gets a boost in OBP leagues thanks to his high walk rate. Dynasty managers should expect Wilken to make his major league debut at some point in 2026.

 

9) Tyson Hardin– SP, 24 YO

2025 Stats (A+/AA): 96.0 IP | 2.72 ERA | 24.7 K% | 4.4 BB%

Watching film on Brewers’ hitting prospects helped me spot Tyson Hardin on the mound. The team’s 12th-round pick from 2024 has not popped up on many dynasty radars, but that should change this year. Already, Hardin has shown excellent command and control. He walked only 4.4% of the batters he faced and surrendered three home runs all year. Hardin is not all floor and no ceiling. He has a mid-90s fastball that gets really good late life up in the zone. His slider sits in the mid-80s and dives away from righties, while his changeup is an effective pitch to keep lefties off balance. Hardin’s strikeout rate is the one thing suppressing his dynasty value, but he has the stuff to see that change in 2026.

 

10) Andrew Fischer – 1B, 21 YO

2025 Stats (A+): .311 AVG | .402 OBP | .446 SLG | 1 HR | 8 SB | 25.3 K% | 12.6 BB%

The Brewers selected Andrew Fischer 18th overall in last year’s draft out of the University of Tennessee. Fischer’s pretty left-handed swing produces some highlight reel home runs. He has excellent bat speed and utilizes his lower body well to tap into as much power as his 6’1″ frame can produce. The flip side of the power upside is poor pitch recognition, over-aggression, and contact issues that threaten to prevent Fischer from ever reaching his potential. Fischer fits the profile of a stereotypical first base prospect with big power, good walk rates, and concerning contact skills.

 

11) Blake Burke – 1B, 22 YO

2025 Stats (A+/AA): .292 AVG | .379 OBP | .453 SLG | 16 HR | 15 SB | 23.8 K% | 11.5 BB%

Blake Burke lacks the athletic upside of fellow first base prospect Andrew Fischer, but makes up for it with a more polished approach. Burke has a stockier build at 6’3″, but has effortless power. He drives the ball to all fields and projects as an excellent power hitter. The 15 stolen bases are an aberration of what dynasty managers should expect moving forward. How Burke develops against lefties (only one homer off southpaws last season) will ultimately determine his long-term dynasty outlook.

 

12) Logan Henderson– SP, 23 YO

2025 MiLB Stats (AAA): 77.2 IP | 3.59 ERA | 27.9 K% | 7.7 BB%

2025 MLB Stats: 25.1 IP | 1.78 ERA | 33.3 K% | 8.1 BB%

Logan Henderson looked really good in five games with the major league club this past season. Despite making the jump to the major leagues, Henderson continued to show an innate ability to locate his pitches and throw strikes. Henderson has the makings of a very solid 4/5 in a rotation and would rank much higher on other lists. However, his pedestrian stuff lands him at 12th here. Stuff+ graded his arsenal as a 93 last season. He is really a two-pitch guy with his four-seamer and changeup. This combination does not typically find sustainable success at the major league level. Dynasty managers will see Henderson pitch at the major league level again in 2026.

 

13) Bishop Letson– SP, 21 YO

2025 Stats (A+/AA): 41.1 IP | 2.40 ERA | 30.8 K% | 7.5 BB%

An 11th-round pick from 2023, Bishop Letson is starting to make a name for himself in the dynasty community. A shoulder injury limited Letson to just 41.1 innings last season, but his 30.8% strikeout rate speaks for itself. Letson’s money pitch is his slider. The pitch has excellent two-plane break and is a plus-plus offering. His fastball is also in the mid-90s and gets significant arm-side run. At this point, Letson is more of a thrower than a pitcher. The stuff is good enough to generate strikeouts, but he lacks the command he will need at more advanced levels. Starting in 2026 at Double-A will be a true litmus test for how accurate this ranking of 13th is for Letson.

 

14) Bryce Meccage – SP, 19 YO

2025 MiLB Stats (A): 70.1 IP | 4.35 ERA | 23.6 K% | 8.9 BB%

Northeast prep pitchers are always going to have a slower development curve. Coming from New Jersey (only about 15 minutes from my house!), Meccage fits that bill. However, there is a sneaky amount of upside to his profile. Meccage looks like a pitcher on the mound. Standing at 6’4″, his delivery is smooth, athletic, and easily repeated. His fastball sits in the mid-90s, and he has two breaking pitches that generate plus movement. The sweeping slider is the best secondary he has, but his curveball is not to be overlooked. He needs to develop more consistency with his command, but Meccage has a solid base to build off of in an organization with a strong development track record.

 

15) Mike Boeve – 3B, 23 YO

2025 Stats (CPX/AA): .239 AVG | .336 OBP | .341 SLG | 5 HR | 8 SB | 22.4 K% | 11.5 BB%

Durability has certainly become an issue for Mike Boeve, who has failed to eclipse 79 games played through three professional seasons. Still, in those seasons, Boeve has shown flashes of relevance. He has sneaky pop from the left side and good contact skills. He is unlikely to ever be a fantasy star, but is a high-floor player who should generate more attention if he can stay healthy in 2026.

 

The Next Five

 

Although these prospects do not crack the Top 15, dynasty managers should keep their eyes on these five players:

Braylon Payne – 19 YO – A toolsy outfielder with first-round pick pedigree who had his suspect hit tool exposed in his first full professional season.

Brady Ebel – 18 YO – A projectable prep shortstop taken 32nd overall in 2025 who has a big left-handed swing and significant power upside.

José Anderson – 19 YO – Young outfield prospect who has flashed power/speed upside but has posted alarming contact rates, which cloud his future projection.

Eric Bitonti – 20 YO – Bitonti stands big at 6’4″ and has already slid into a corner infield spot. He has big power but a poor hit tool that needs to improve for Bitonti to ever become a fantasy-relevant asset.

Ethan Dorchies – 19 YO – The team’s 10th round pick from 2024, who flashed a solid fastball/splitter combo and finished with a 2.74 ERA in his first professional season.
