Baseball America has released its Top 100 prospects for the upcoming 2026 baseball season. Among the notable names are six Milwaukee Brewers players who have made their mark in the minor leagues. Here’s a closer examination of these promising talents.
Milwaukee Brewers Prospects in Top 100
- Jackson Chourio
- Ernesto Made
- Brady Peña
- Cooper Pratt
- Jett Williams
- Brandon Sproat
Ernesto Made: A Rising Star
Ernesto Made has been a prominent figure among prospects. Baseball America rates him as a 70-grade prospect with an average risk level. His performance across three minor league levels showcases his blend of speed, power, and batting contact.
Although defensive adjustments are expected due to the talent of Cooper Pratt, Made’s defense has shown marked improvement. This past season, he achieved a .915 OPS while playing in Double-A and is on the verge of joining the Brewers’ major league roster.
Brady Peña: High Offensive Potential
Brady Peña holds a promising offensive potential similar to Made. While questions remain regarding his plate discipline, Peña has demonstrated athleticism and impressive hand-eye coordination. His 8.2% strikeout rate in 2025 highlights his ability to make contact, though he showed inconsistency after being promoted to High-A.
Peña’s 2025 season statistics were a mixed bag, indicating a need for improvement to elevate his ranking further in the eyes of scouts.
Cooper Pratt: Defensive Excellence
Cooper Pratt stands out as the best defensive shortstop in the Brewers’ farm system. Scouts project him to be a major league-ready defender by 2026. His defensive prowess is complemented by a developing bat. Pratt’s balanced swing reflects potential for growth, despite initial concerns regarding his power.
Jett Williams: Versatile and Promising
Acquired from the Mets, Jett Williams was the No. 14 overall pick in 2022. He was celebrated as the best prospect in the Mets system last season. His on-base ability and swing decisions make him a valuable asset for the Brewers.
Williams had a standout 2025, hitting 17 home runs in 130 games across various positions. His versatility allows him to play multiple infield spots and center field.
Brandon Sproat: A Strong Pitching Talent
Brandon Sproat, another addition via the trade with the Mets, is regarded as a legitimate pitching talent. Despite facing challenges in Triple-A, he improved significantly in his last 11 starts, indicating his potential for success in the majors.
Sproat’s acceleration delivers a mid-90s sinker that can generate ground balls, further adding to his appeal as a prospect for the Brewers.
Future Outlook for Brewers’ Prospects
The six Brewers prospects showcased in Baseball America’s Top 100 rankings represent a bright future for the franchise. With the right development and support, players like Made, Peña, Pratt, Williams, and Sproat could significantly impact the Brewers in the coming seasons.
