The Milwaukee Brewers farm system is currently one of the best in baseball. This has held true despite prospects like Jackson Chourio, Garrett Mitchell, Sal Frelick, Brice Turang, Joey Wiemer, Abner Uribe, Joey Ortiz, and others graduating out of prospect status. Their young players in the minor leagues are continuing to impress and recently two 18 year old position players were in the headlines for accounting for half of the players with one insane statistic.
Two Milwaukee Brewers players account for half the players with this insane statistic.
Per Eric Cross, Fantasy Baseball Writer and 2021 FSWA Baseball Writer of the Year, Brewers 2023 International Signees Yophery Rodriguez and Filippo Di Turi are two of four 18 year old players with a wRC+ of 110 or greater that are currently playing above rookie ball. Both are currently playing in Single-A with the Carolina Mudcats.
Four prospects age 18 or younger have a 110+ wRC+ this season and are currently above rookie ball (Min 100 PA)

Milwaukee Brewers 2024 statistics: Yophery Rodriguez
Yophery Rodriguez was the headline of the Brewers 2023 International Signing class. He began the 2024 season in A-Ball and has thrived. The left-handed hitting and throwing outfielder has a .251/.353/.417 slash line this year and also has collected 41 RBI’s. His 36 walks so far this season indicates an impressive feel for the strike zone and he is decent at making contact as he currently has a 26% strikeout rate.
Milwaukee Brewers 2024 statistics: Filippo Di Turi
Infielde Filippo Di Turi was also a part of the 2023 International Signing class, but he began the year in Rookie-Ball. Since being promoted to Carolina he has managed to get 16 games underneath his belt. Overall this season he has a .289/.417/.394 slash line with 29 walks compared to 31 strikeouts. He is a switch hitter with 50 grade tools in both hit and power and should be a fun player to watch develop.
