Get ready for an exciting journey as we dive into the world of baseball and uncover the incredible talent within the Brewers' organization! The future is bright for these rising stars, and you won't want to miss a single detail.
Baseball America has just unveiled their highly anticipated list of the top 100 prospects in baseball for the upcoming 2026 season. Among them, a remarkable six Brewers prospects have made the cut, each with their own unique story and potential to ignite. Let's explore these talented individuals and their remarkable journeys.
4. Jesus Made: The Complete Package at the Plate
Jesus Made, a name that resonates with power and skill, has been a topic of discussion for quite some time. With an impressive 70-grade prospect rating and an average risk assessment, BA believes Made is destined for greatness. His performance across three minor league levels showcases above-average speed, power, and contact, leaving little doubt about his abilities.
While there may be questions about his long-term position at shortstop, it's more a testament to the presence of Cooper Pratt than any defensive shortcomings. Made's defense has improved significantly, and he's projected to be, at the very least, a slightly above-average defender. With a hot start in Low-A Carolina in 2025, followed by mid-season promotions and an impressive .915 OPS, Made is knocking on the door of the Brewers' clubhouse. He's the next big thing in Milwaukee, and we can't wait to see him don the Brewers' uniform.
But here's where it gets controversial...
- Luis Peña: A High-Ceiling Hitter
Luis Peña shares Made's offensive potential, despite some concerns about his plate discipline and long-term defensive capabilities. Described as an "athletic, aggressive hitter" with excellent hand-eye coordination, Peña's swing is a sight to behold. His exit velocities often reach triple digits, yet his swing is tailored for top-spin line drives, resulting in lower home run numbers. Peña's ranking by BA might surprise some, as he was promoted alongside Made but struggled a bit in High-A, posting a .517 OPS in 101 at-bats. However, if he starts the season strong, Peña could quickly rise up the rankings.
50. Cooper Pratt: The Defensive Wizard
Out of the three shortstops at the top of the Brewers' farm system, Cooper Pratt stands out as the best defensive prospect. His skills on the field are exceptional, and he has the potential to be an above-average shortstop in the majors as early as 2026. Pratt's defensive game is a thing of beauty; he gets to balls that many shortstops can't reach, and his error rate is remarkably low.
While his bat still needs some work, Pratt shows signs of further development. BA describes his swing as simple, balanced, and short to the ball for a player of his height (6'3"). Pratt expands the strike zone more often than he should, particularly against sliders down and away, but his timing and hand-eye coordination keep his swing-and-miss rate low. Scouts believe he won't develop much power, but a defensive wizard who can hit for average is an invaluable asset.
And this is the part most people miss...
- Jett Williams: The Versatile Talent
Jett Williams, a former Mets organization member, is a player who deserves his own spotlight. Many Mets fans were disappointed when Williams, the No. 14 overall pick in 2022, was traded for Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers. But Williams has the potential to be a star very soon. His on-base ability and swing decisions are impressive, and he comes with a long list of accolades. BA ranked him as the No. 1 Mets prospect last season, and he was also named the best baserunner and had the strongest infield arm in the organization.
Williams boasts significant power, with 17 home runs in 130 combined games last year, despite his small stature (5'6"). His versatility is another standout trait, having played shortstop, second base, and center field with equal success. With an .868 OPS in Double-A last year and a slight drop in Triple-A, Williams is expected to bounce back and shine once he spends more time at that level.
81. Brandon Sproat: A Perfect Fit for the Brewers' Pitching Lab
Brandon Sproat, the other player acquired in the Peralta-Myers trade, is an exciting addition to the Brewers' pitching lab. The 25-year-old right-hander was drafted twice by the Mets and has lived up to the hype in Double-A. However, he faced some challenges in Triple-A, posting a 6.45 ERA in his first 22 starts. But Sproat turned it around, finishing with an impressive 2.44 ERA and a 30% strikeout rate in his last 11 starts. He even made four starts with the Mets in September, showcasing his talent.
Sproat is a legitimate talent, with a 4.24 ERA in 26 games (25 starts) at Triple-A last season. His underlying peripherals, including 113 strikeouts in 121 innings and a .218 opponent batting average, indicate big league success. BA highlights his control and breaking balls as standout traits. Sproat's mid-80s sweeper and high-70s curveball are his go-to pitches, and he also throws a harder slider. His sinker sits at 94-96 mph, but it's a groundball pitch rather than a whiff pitch.
96. Logan Henderson: A Smart Pitcher with Great Movement
Most fans are familiar with Logan Henderson's brief stint with the Brewers last year, which was cut short due to injury. Despite the setback, Henderson's 1.78 ERA in 25 1/3 IP with Milwaukee was enough to land him on BA's Top 100. Henderson may not blow you away with velocity, but he's a smart pitcher who gets excellent movement on his pitches. His standout pitch is an 80-ish mph "Nintendo pitch" changeup that plays off his fastball effectively.
While it's fair to wonder about his success against major league teams with a full year of film on him, Henderson is a key part of the Brewers' rotation plans for 2026. He won't be on this list next year, but his talent and potential are undeniable.
