Six Brewers Land on Baseball America’s Top 100 Prospects List

Baseball America just dropped its Top 100 Prospects for 2026, and it paints a pretty interesting picture of where the Milwaukee Brewers’ farm system stands as the team eyes its next real shot at contention.

Six Brewers prospects cracked the list. That’s a solid showing and hints at a mix of exciting position players and some pitching depth that’s finally starting to look legit after a few big trades.

Let’s dig into what these rankings actually mean for the Brewers’ future—and the players who are fueling all this hope.

Jackson Made Leads the Brewers’ Prospect Class

At the top of the Brewers’ list, you’ll find Jackson Made. He landed an impressive 70 grade from Baseball America, which is about as high as it gets.

Made flashed that rare all-around talent all year in 2025, moving up through three minor-league levels and never really missing a beat.

A Five-Tool Profile on the Fast Track

He’s got plus speed, emerging power, and makes contact pretty much everywhere. That’s how he forced those quick promotions.

Scouts noticed he’s getting better defensively too. Some folks wonder if he’ll stick at shortstop forever, but he looks like at least an above-average defender—maybe even a cornerstone for Milwaukee.

Trade Acquisitions Paying Early Dividends

The Brewers’ deal sending Freddy Peralta to the Mets was a big swing, and Baseball America’s rankings already hint that Milwaukee’s getting something back for it.

Williams Brings Versatility and On-Base Excellence

Williams came over in that trade and stands out for his knack for getting on base and playing anywhere. In 2025, he hit 17 home runs in 130 games, mixing some pop with speed and a pretty good arm.

He can slide between the infield and outfield, which gives the Brewers a lot of options.

Brandon Sproat Anchors the Pitching Side

Brandon Sproat also arrived from the Mets. His Triple-A stint was a bit rocky, but he finished strong.

Baseball America liked his command, mid-90s sinker, and nasty breaking stuff. He looks like someone who could help the big-league rotation or maybe the bullpen soon.

Defense, Power, and Developmental Questions

The Brewers’ system isn’t just about the headliners. There are a few other guys with clear strengths—and some stuff to work on.

Cooper Pratt’s Elite Glove

Cooper Pratt might be the best defensive shortstop in the organization right now. His glove and steady contact skills jump out.

Scouts aren’t convinced he’ll ever hit for much power, but honestly, a great glove at shortstop still matters a ton.

Brayan Peña’s Boom-or-Bust Bat

Brayan Peña has some of the loudest tools in the system—big raw power, quick hands, and all that. But his plate discipline kind of fell apart after a 2025 promotion.

If he can rein in his approach, that offensive upside is still there.

Jared Henderson and the Brewers’ Pitching Confidence

Jared Henderson is probably the most intriguing pitcher on this list, even though Brewers fans haven’t seen much of him yet.

A Glimpse of the Future Rotation

He put up a 1.78 ERA over 25 1/3 MLB innings before elbow inflammation shut him down. His changeup and the way his pitches move make him look like a solid rotation piece going forward.

Baseball America points out he might not be a top-100 prospect next year, but that’s usually just because he’s about to stick in the majors for good.

Depth Beyond the Top 100

The article brings up a handful of Brewers minor leaguers who offer extra depth and a bit of upside. Some of the names that stand out:
