With the new year comes the new baseball season. I\u2019ll publish a full write-up on the Brewers\u2019 top prospects at each position sometime before spring training starts, but Baseball America already took the liberty of releasing a list of the top 10 prospects (league-wide) at each position. For a couple positions, BA elected to include more than 10 prospects, as you\u2019ll see below.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a little bit about each and every Brewers prospect who made the top 10, and a couple who didn\u2019t:<\/p>\n
While Jeferson Quero is one of the best prospects in a stacked organization, he didn\u2019t make the cut for Baseball America. Quero\u2019s still working his way back from a labrum tear suffered after his first plate appearance in 2024, which is part of the reason he\u2019s not on the list (2023 Quero would be). Quero\u2019s also barely a prospect at this point \u2014 he has a shot at making the Brewers out of spring training and will almost certainly make his big-league debut sometime in 2026.<\/p>\n
First Base: Luke Adams (No. 9)<\/p>\n
Adams, Milwaukee\u2019s No. 8 prospect per MLB Pipeline, hit .232\/.409\/.450 with 11 home runs in Biloxi last year. He did miss the better part of two months with an injury, but when he was on the field, he was a standout player for the Shuckers. The 21-year-old Adams is well-rounded at the plate (213 walks to 260 strikeouts with the organization), which is a profile that should translate to the big leagues eventually.<\/p>\n
Second Base: Luis Pe\u00f1a (No. 2), Josh Adamczewski (No. 6)<\/p>\n
Pe\u00f1a is one of the league\u2019s top prospects, but due to concerns about his defensive range (and, to a lesser extent, his hands) he may end up sticking at second base rather than shortstop. Baseball America seems to be agreeing with those concerns by listing him at second. Despite said defensive concerns, Pe\u00f1a is still No. 2 on the list because he has all the tools to end up a superstar someday. Last season, Pe\u00f1a slashed .270\/.335\/.422 across Low and High-A.<\/p>\n
Adamczewski (Pipeline No. 13), at least at the plate, had probably the best season of any Brewers prospect. He wasn\u2019t even listed as a top 30 Brewers prospect before the season, but clearly, he should have been \u2014 slashing .320\/.420\/.490 across Low and High-A. Also, this tweet implies that he\u2019ll be listed as a top 100 prospect heading into 2026:<\/p>\n
Shortstop: Jesus Made (No. 4), Cooper Pratt (No. 16)<\/p>\n
BA named 25 shortstops due to the amount of depth at the position, so Pratt made the list despite ranking below the top 10.<\/p>\n
Not much needs to be said about Made and Pratt that isn\u2019t already known by the majority of Brewers fans, Still, to reiterate: Made looks to be a special prospect. He has all the talent in the world, and his production in the minors (.285\/.379\/.413 between Low-, High-, and Double-A) seems to reinforce the Brewers\u2019 hopes that he might be a legitimate franchise talent in the mold of Jackson Chourio.<\/p>\n
The only reason Made might not stick at shortstop is Pratt, who would be an above-average defensive shortstop if you dropped him into American Family Field today. Pratt\u2019s bat, however, is less ready (.238\/.343\/.348 in Double-A last year). He\u2019ll need a stronger offensive performance before the Brewers decide to move him up to Triple-A. With that being said, Pratt\u2019s 2025 OPS was almost a full 100 points lower than his 2024 OPS (.768). If he improves at the plate after his first full year in Double-A, the Brewers will truly have an embarrassment of riches in the middle infield between Pratt, Made, Pe\u00f1a, Adamczewski, and current second baseman Brice Turang.<\/p>\n
Third Base: Andrew Fischer (No. 1), Brock Wilken (No. 10)<\/p>\n
Fischer (Pipeline No. 6) might end up at first base eventually, but he comes in at No. 1 due to both the relative weakness at the position and his personal performance after the Brewers picked him with their first-round pick in 2025. Fischer is a mature and developed hitter for his age (21 until late May), which showed in his limited time with the High-A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. In 18 games, the Tennessee Vols alum hit .311\/.402\/.446 and didn\u2019t really show any signs of slowing down. If he keeps hitting like that at the start of the next season, he\u2019ll be in Double-A before the trade deadline.<\/p>\n
Wilken (Pipeline No. 17) is a monster power hitter, hitting 18 home runs in just 79 games last season. There\u2019s still a little too much swing-and-miss to his game, but he improved a lot from last year\u2019s stint in Biloxi despite missing serious time due to a dislocated kneecap suffered in a postgame locker room celebration. For more on Wilken, check out the breakdown of his swing<\/a> that I did last year.<\/p>\n Right-Handed Pitching: None<\/p>\n None made the top 10, but Logan Henderson came in at No. 17 after his impressive performance in limited time with Milwaukee (1.78 ERA in 25 1\/3 IP last year). Henderson, even more than Quero, is barely a prospect anymore and should have a role on the Brewers\u2019 staff this year.<\/p>\n Left-Handed Pitching: None<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the new year comes the new baseball season.
