The Milwaukee Brewers a season ago won the National League Central before losing to the New York Mets in the wild card series. During the 2024 season for Milwaukee, one of the main players on the roster was outfielder Jackson Chourio.
Chourio was one of the top prospects in the Brewers farm system. In 2025 and beyond, the Brewers hope they will have more prospects that will be a big factor in the major leagues. Shortstop Cooper Pratt was one of the prospects that caught the Milwaukee Brewers fans’ eyes last season.
Milwaukee Brewers Shortstop Prospect Cooper Pratt Ranked 50th In Top 100 Of Baseball America
Before the 2025 minor league baseball season, Baseball America released its top 100 prospects ahead of the 2025 season. One of the prospects who made the list was Pratt. He was not ranked last season on the list and is ranked 50th ahead of the 2025 season.
Pratt is one of four Brewers prospects who made this list. Brewcrewball.com writer Adam Zimmer said about Cooper Pratt being ranked at 50:
“The 20-year-old Pratt ranks as the Brewers’ second-best shortstop prospect due to the rapid ascendance of Made. He would be the best for a lot of other clubs. Pratt has essentially played one season of minor league ball, playing in just 12 games in 2023 after the Brewers drafted him out of high school in Mississippi and signed him away from his commitment to Ole Miss. He was promoted twice in 2024, finishing the season in the playoffs with Double-A Biloxi. Pratt slashed .277/.362.406 while winning a minor league Gold Glove. He already appears to be a major league-level defender; if he continues to rake in a full season of Double-A ball, he should earn a promotion to Triple-A by the end of the season. Again, like Made, he’ll be ranked higher than No. 50 next season if he continues to play at the level he’s been playing at.”
He was a sixth-round selection (182nd overall) in the 2023 MLB Draft. Pratt is projected to reach the big leagues in 2027. He will probably spend most of the 2025 MLB season with the Biloxi Shuckers in Double-A. Pratt is 6’4″ and weighs 195 lbs. He is a right-handed hitter and a right-handed thrower.
The Rise Of Jesus Made
Milwaukee Brewers prospect shortstop Jesus Made was not ranked in the prospect list of Baseball America last year. He is not projected to be in the big leagues until 2028 but is already ranked ahead of Pratt. There is no doubt that Jesus Made and Cooper Pratt will have spots on the Brewers roster in the future.
Made is only 17 years old and was signed as an international free agent on January 15, 2024. Both can play shortstop, but Jesus Made can also play third base. Cooper Pratt will probably be in the big leagues before Made, but both should have nice MLB careers when the time comes.
