The team\u2019s High A affiliate, the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, are excited about their share of those young start on the roster in Grand Chute.<\/p>\n<p>Five of the Brewers\u2019 top fifteen prospects will start their season with the Timber Rattlers. Part of first year manager Nick Stanley\u2019s job will be to help prepare the young talent to get them to the major leagues. He liked what he saw from them earlier in spring training.<\/p>\n<p>What You Need To Know<\/p>\n<p>According to Baseball America, the Milwaukee Brewers have MLB&#8217;s top-rated farm system<br \/>\n<br \/>The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers will start the season with 5 of the team\u2019s top 15 prospects<br \/>\n<br \/>19-year-old infielder Luis Pe\u00f1a out of the Dominican Republic is the Brewers #2 rated prospect<br \/>\n<br \/>Number six prospect Andrew Fischer recently played for Italy in the World Baseball Classic<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel good about the talent we have. There&#8217;s a lot of development to go. There&#8217;s going to be ups and downs, which is what&#8217;s expected and kind of what you want at this level, that&#8217;s how you learn. But, all in all, the talent is going to be really exciting,\u201d said Stanley.<\/p>\n<p>Brewers #6 prospect, 2015 1st round draft pick Andrew Fischer, made a name for himself recently while playing for Italy in the World Baseball Classic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a great experience for me. It was something that, I&#8217;m grateful that the Brewers let me go and do it. Got their blessing pretty early on, and they seem to be pretty fond of it. And I was excited that I went and I think all players who have the opportunity to go should go. It&#8217;s something you can&#8217;t replicate anywhere else,\u201d said Fischer.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TimberRattlers2_Jon_Fuller_WI_040326.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"hashed-image image\" img-data-alignment=\"center\" img-data-width=\"percent-hundred\" loading=\"lazy\" img-data-caption=\"(Spectrum News 1\/Jon Fuller)\" img-data-wrap-text=\"true\" img-data-editing=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<p>(Spectrum News 1\/Jon Fuller)<\/p>\n<p>Signed out of the Dominican Republic, the Brewers\u2019 #2 prospect, shortstop Luis Pe\u00f1a, is only 19-years-old.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy job is to bring some excitement. One of my goals is to stay healthy. So that way I can make sure then, the team can count on me and just continue to develop myself. So that way, I can help the team in the big leagues,\u201d said Pe\u00f1a through an interpreter.<\/p>\n<p>Brewers\u2019 #10 prospect, catcher Marco Dinges, provided some power last season. He hit 10 home runs in 51 games with the Rattlers. Right behind him at #11, Josh Adamczewski, a 15th-round pick in 2023, said draft status doesn\u2019t really matter at this stage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou always have a chance coming up. It doesn\u2019t matter where you were picked,\u201d said Adamczewski. \u201cYou\u2019re always going to have the opportunity to just come out and show what you can do. It\u2019s a great organization to be in to follow through with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TimberRattlers3_Jon_Fuller_WI_040326.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"hashed-image image\" img-data-alignment=\"center\" img-data-width=\"percent-hundred\" loading=\"lazy\" img-data-caption=\"(Spectrum News 1\/Jon Fuller)\" img-data-wrap-text=\"true\" img-data-editing=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<p>(Spectrum News 1\/Jon Fuller)<\/p>\n<p>Stanley began coaching in the Brewers system in 2018, getting his start in the Dominican Summer League. He takes the philosophical lead from the Brewers organization.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Murph and our front office, it\u2019s been proven that if you can help us win, you\u2019re going to get a chance, regardless of where you came from and what your prospect status is or was or is going to be,\u201d said Stanley.<\/p>\n<p>As if they needed any more motivation, the prospects can look to Jackson Chourio and Cooper Pratt. They both spent time with the Timber Rattlers and both also signed long-term contracts with the Brewers before playing a single game in Milwaukee. It\u2019s clear to see the organization\u2019s commitment to its future stars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s exciting for those guys and that\u2019s exciting for me knowing that everyone in that room\u2019s got a legitimate opportunity to play in the big leagues for the Brewers,\u201d said Stanley.<\/p>\n<p>Minor league baseball tends to emphasize player development, but Fischer said the best baseball players are the guys who also win games.<\/p>\n<p>The Timber Rattlers fans hope to have a front-row seat to watch some future stars and winning baseball this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GRAND CHUTE, Wis. \u2014 When Baseball America rated the best farm systems in Major League Baseball, the Milwaukee&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":661258,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[556,560,5,84341,4,169,185,558,1519],"class_list":{"0":"post-661257","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-app-sports","9":"tag-app-top-stories","10":"tag-baseball","11":"tag-jon-fuller","12":"tag-mlb","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-top-stories","16":"tag-wisconsin"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116342137723313983","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661257","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=661257"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661257\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/661258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=661257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=661257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=661257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
