The Milwaukee Brewers have established themselves as a consistent contender in the National League over the last few years, but things are gonna be murky for a little bit. Trading Corbin Burnes has hurt the team, and their championship window has closed just a smidgen.
With a core of young MLB stars and a deep farm system churning out future big leaguers, the future, however, remains bright at American Family Field. The minor league farm has always been good for the Brewers, and things haven’t changed despite the recent bumps in the road. But who are the young players on the horizon, ready to make their mark on the Brewers’ success?
Everything To Know About Milwaukee Brewers Prospect
OF Jackson Chourio
Most Brewers fans have heard of this up-and-coming stud. This young Venezuelan outfielder is considered one of the top prospects in all of baseball and with good reason.
Originally drafted by the Brewers as a shortstop in 2021, arm limitations led the Brewers to move him to the outfield. This turned out to be a brilliant decision, unlocking his full potential.
He possesses a vicious right-handed swing that can generate power in all fields. He’s not just a pure slugger though; his approach at the plate is maturing, and he shows a good understanding of the strike zone.
In 2023, Chourio became just the fifth teenager in Minor League history to record a 20-40 season (20 home runs and 40 stolen bases). He’s still young despite being in the system for 3 years, so he only has room to improve, and he has all the time in the world to do so.
Everything To Know About Milwaukee Brewers Prospect P Jacob Misiorowski
Drafted by the Brewers in the 2022 MLB Draft, Misiorowski has quickly climbed the ranks of the minor leagues, and he’s bubbling on the surface of the MLB for a short time. With a 3.45 ERA throughout his time in the minors, he may need a little more time to cook and develop before officially becoming a Brewer.
Everything To Know About Milwaukee Brewers Prospect INF Tyler Black
Tyler is on the verge of joining the Brewers, but where exactly he’ll play is up in the air. He’ll probably play at 3rd base, but time will tell in that regard.
For those unaware, Tyler is a lefty hitter is known for his high on-base percentage, speed on the basepaths, and consistent contact hitting. He’s reminiscent of Jose Altuve, though maybe not as powerful or as fast.
Everything To Know About Milwaukee Brewers Prospect INF Joey Ortiz
The first of 2 prospects brought in from the Corbin Burnes trade, Ortiz was picked by the O’s in the 4th round back in the 2019 draft.
His defensive reputation is strong, with a flawless record in limited major league appearances and a stellar range factor in the minors. This defensive flexibility, combined with his offensive pop, makes him a valuable asset.
Ortiz is considered a Top 100 prospect in all of baseball and could find himself carving out a key role on the infield in 2024
Everything To Know About Milwaukee Brewers Prospect P DH Hall
Drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 1st round of the 2017 MLB Draft, he made his major league debut in 2022. He’s been up-and-down over the past few years, and has found himself back in the minor leagues to work on his game.
There is hope for Hall to improve his game and become a part of the Brewers rotation or bullpen. There’s definitely room with Burnes gone.
