And I think managers are excited about prospects because they know they&#8217;re the future,&#8221; Murphy said, per Rosiak. &#8220;So, anybody&#8217;s going to be excited about that and I don&#8217;t think we put them aside at all. I love going down to the minor-league side and watching; I do that from time to time. You mention Cooper Pratt &#8211; there&#8217;s another guy that I&#8217;m excited to be around and get to know him better as a player and go day to day with him because he&#8217;s a good baseball player. They&#8217;re both part of our future &#8211; I&#8217;m pretty certain of that. So, yeah, I&#8217;m excited to see them in camp and some other guys in camp, too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Pratt has become a bit overlooked and underrated through no fault of his own. Made is the best prospect in the Brewers system. He&#8217;s the most exciting youngster in the organization. Jett Williams is the new prospect who was added in the Peralta deal and he&#8217;s expected to have a job in the starting lineup at some point this season.<\/p>\n<p>Pratt, on the other hand, is stuck in the middle. He&#8217;s around a year away from being able to make a difference in the big leagues, but his talent is still off the charts.<\/p>\n<p>Given the fact that Murphy opted to specifically note Pratt and his talent in a conversation about Made and Pratt should tell you all you need to know about Murphy&#8217;s feelings for the 21-year-old infielder.<\/p>\n<p>More MLB: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/brewers\/onsi\/news-feed\/brewers-trade-addition-entering-make-or-break-season-in-milwaukee-zach3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Brewers&#039; Trade Addition Entering &#039;Make Or Break Season&#039; in Milwaukee;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Brewers&#8217; Trade Addition Entering &#8216;Make Or Break Season&#8217; in Milwaukee<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This article was originally published on www.si.com\/mlb\/brewers\/onsi as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/brewers\/onsi\/news-feed\/brewers-21-year-old-ss-already-turning-heads-in-spring-training-zach3?utm_source=RSS\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Brewers 21-Year-Old SS Already Turning Heads in Spring Training;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Brewers 21-Year-Old SS Already Turning Heads in Spring Training<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Milwaukee Brewers might have traded away two key pieces of their 2025 roster, Freddy Peralta and Caleb&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":573469,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2401],"tags":[46,5,9070,136,3615,25711,753,12887,843,59,6454,4280,4,6077,151,3970],"class_list":{"0":"post-573468","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-milwaukee-brewers","8":"tag-atlanta-braves","9":"tag-baseball","10":"tag-brett-davis-imagn","11":"tag-brewers","12":"tag-caleb-durbin","13":"tag-cooper-pratt","14":"tag-freddy-peralta","15":"tag-jett-williams","16":"tag-milwaukee","17":"tag-milwaukee-brewers","18":"tag-milwaukee-journal-sentinel","19":"tag-milwaukeebrewers","20":"tag-mlb","21":"tag-pat-murphy","22":"tag-spring-training","23":"tag-top-prospects"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116073054563997746","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/573468","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=573468"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/573468\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/573469"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=573468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=573468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=573468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
