1. SS Jesus Made | 17 | DSL | 2028
Right here’s what I wrote in July for Prospect Information: Angel The Guardian or Jesus Made Me Do It:
“Brewers SS Jesus Made (17, DSL) is an extended profession of awkward puns if he can maintain enjoying like he has as far as an expert, slashing .395/.490/.716 with 5 dwelling runs, three stolen bases and a 14.6-to-13.5 p.c walk-to-strikeout fee. Made was a extremely ranked, extremely paid signing, however I’m fascinated by Milwaukee’s course of as they’re getting outcomes like this whereas a lot of the incoming worldwide class is struggling to make contact or has but to debut. Made is a switch-hitter at 6’1” 187 lbs who’s extra bodily developed than numerous his friends, in order that’s in all probability an element.”
He completed the season .331/.458/.554 with six dwelling runs, six triples, 9 doubles, and 28 steals in 32 makes an attempt throughout 51 video games. His plate charges had been 18.1-to-13, so he walked extra and struck out much less the remainder of the best way. Stateside debut may nonetheless ship issues sideways, however it is a inventory on a rocket within the prospecting recreation.
2. RHP Jacob Misiorowski | 22 | AAA | 2025
At 6’7” 190 lbs with a three-quarter supply, Misiorowski’s course of trades steadiness for deception, which landed him within the bullpen on the finish of 2024 when Milwaukee brass apparently determined his command wasn’t far sufficient alongside for him to contribute as a starter within the brief time period. It’s anybody’s guess whether or not he’ll be again within the rotation subsequent season, however he was as dominant as anticipated out of the pen, recording a 1.84 ERA and 0.75 WHIP with 19 strikeouts in 14.2 innings. The group has mentioned it’s going to think about buying and selling Devin Williams this winter, so we’ve obtained numerous shifting items right here. My guess is The Miz can write his personal story if he desires to begin and comes into 2025 with barely improved command.
3. SS Cooper Pratt | 20 | A+ | 2027
Pratt steps off the bus at a formidable 6’4” 195 lbs and options glorious palms and athleticism on the sector. On protection, he tasks to stay at shortstop with an inside lane on changing into plus on the place given his sturdy arm and spectacular vary. He doesn’t get essentially the most out of his body as a hitter, however he’s been enjoying in opposition to older pitchers and holding his personal whereas studying to energy up, as indicated by his 5 dwelling runs in 23 Excessive-A video games after hitting simply three in 73 Low-A contests. He was additionally excellent within the postseason, serving to to propel the Timber Rattlers to the ultimate recreation of the championship, which they misplaced to the younger Guardians.
4. C Jeferson Quero | 22 | AAA | 2025
A torn labrum in his proper shoulder value Quero what may need been his rookie season. Shoulder stuff is frightening for skilled throwers, and an enormous a part of Quero’s enchantment has all the time been his plus protection behind the plate. Assuming he does get again to one hundred pc, William Contreras isn’t a free agent till 2028. Contreras is nice sufficient to DH when he’s not catching, so perhaps this might be a non-issue, however I nonetheless really feel prefer it caps Quero’s upside sufficient that I’m not shopping for in the intervening time.
5. OF Braylon Payne | 18 | A | 2028
The seventeenth general decide on this yr’s draft, Payne is among the many quickest (and youngest) gamers in his class and could possibly be a real 80 runner at peak. At 6’2” 186 lbs from the left facet, he’s a prototype heart fielder with a Kenny Lofton-like slashing swing that opens up only a tick early. He slashed .438/.526/.625 in 4 video games late within the Low-A season, suggesting that he received’t be overwhelmed in full-season ball in 2025.
6. RHP Logan Henderson | 23 | AAA | 2025
Right here’s what I wrote in August about Henderson for Prospect Information: Stash Record Vol. 8: Crews Management or Hubba Bubba:
“In 67.2 innings (15 begins) throughout three ranges, Henderson has a 2.53 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, and a 31.4 p.c strikeout-minus-walk fee. That’s 89 strikeouts and 9 walks. He has allowed one run with 11 strikeouts in 10 Triple-A innings. A mid-season indirect harm has left him with some further innings within the tank that would result in some September begins.”
Narrator: It didn’t result in some September begins.
Henderson obtained knocked round in his dwelling park at Triple-A Nashville, however that occurs. His mixture of plus fastball and plus changeup with a creating slider ought to push for a rotation spot in some unspecified time in the future in 2025.
7. OF Yophery Rodriguez | 19 | A+ | 2028
At 6’1” 185 lbs from the left facet, Rodriguez exhibits promising uncooked energy that hasn’t manifested in video games, however that hasn’t stopped him from thriving. In 110 Low-A video games, he posted a 117 wRC+ with seven dwelling runs and a .343 on base share. He picks up numerous hits to the alternative discipline, however I don’t all the time love how the swing appears to be like. Kinda late, gradual, disjointed. Can eliminate that and begin turning on the ball with reps and age. He’ll be in opposition to older gamers all through his subsequent couple years. Even joined the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers and contributed to their playoff run after his Low-A Mudcats obtained bounced in spherical one of many Carolina League playoffs.
8. 2B Jadher Areinamo | 21 | A+ | 2026
Areinamo slashed .301/.349/.442 with ten dwelling runs, 32 steals and an 11.1 p.c strikeout fee in 110 video games for Excessive-A Wisconsin. He’s listed at 5’8” 160 lbs however appears to be like just a little larger than that to me. Not laborious to look just a little larger than that, I notice. Mainly I’m saying he hits the ball laborious on a regular basis. Enjoyable participant to look at.
9. 3B Mike Boeve | 22 | AA | 2025
Boeve graduated Excessive-A after simply 13 video games by hitting .553 then slashed .306/.374/.447 with six dwelling runs in 66 Double-A video games. This comes only a yr after being a 2nd spherical select of Nebraska-Omaha. I feel he can keep at third base, but when he can’t, he would possibly wrestle to discover a common spot in a contender’s lineup except he develops extra thump.
10. RHP Craig Yoho | 25 | AAA | 2025
This method is deep. I may make a case for one more half dozen guys right here: Eric Bitoni, Tyler Black, Brock Wilken, Brewer Hicklen, Luis Lara, and Robert Gasser though he had Tommy John surgical procedure through the summer time. I feel the very best case for fantasy functions belongs to Yoho ho and a bottle of rum, a 6’3” 225 lb energy reliever in a company with a observe report for creating dominant closers. In 57.2 innings throughout three ranges, Yoho allowed zero dwelling runs and simply 31 hits, recording ten saves together with a 0.94 ERA and 0.94 WHIP, a stat line so enjoyable it’d make you chuckle.
Thanks for studying!
