Milwaukee Brewers Top 10 Prospects For 2026 Fantasy Baseball

Format = Position Player | Age on 4/1/2026| Highest Level Played | Estimated Time of Arrival 

1. SS Jesús Made | 18 | AA | 2027

A 6’1” 187 pound switch-hitter with power and plate skills beyond his years, Made is the top prospect for our game in my opinion and a consensus top-five prospect for any purpose no matter who’s sorting the list. In 115 across three levels, Made slashed .285/.379/.413 with six home runs and 47 stolen bases. He was 2.4 years young for the level in Low-A, 4.2 years young for the level in High-A, and 5.7 years younger than the average age at the level during his five-game debut with Double-A Biloxi to close out the season. He was slow to get settled into full-season pro ball after skipping the complex league but was dominant in High-A, slashing .343/.415/.500 in 27 games, and I suspect we’ll see a lot of that moving forward.

2. SS Luis Peña | 19 | A+ | 2028

Peña was excellent right away in full-season ball despite jumping from the Dominican Summer League to Low-A, slashing .308/.375/.469 with six home runs, 41 stolen bases and just 41 strikeouts (13.3%) in 71 games to earn a quick promotion to High-A. He met his match in the High-A Midwest League, scuffling to a slash line of .168/.220/.297 with 27 strikeouts (24.8%) in 25 games. A right-handed hitter at 5’11” 185 pounds, Peña has excellent hands in the batter’s box and in the field and should be able to play wherever he’s needed and make enough contact to let his plus speed and plate skills float the profile.

3. SS Cooper Pratt | 21 | AA | 2027

Pratt steps off the bus at an impressive 6’3” 206 lbs and features excellent hands and athleticism on the field. On defense, he projects to remain at shortstop with an inside lane on becoming plus at the position given his strong arm and impressive range. The talent hasn’t always shown up in the outcomes, but like most good Milwaukee prospects, he’s always played up on the age-to-level curve. He was 3.6 years younger than the average age at Double-A this year, for example, but still managed a 108 wRC+ and 15.2 percent strikeout rate. Elevation is an issue, but launch angle can be learned. 

4. OF Braylon Payne | 19 | A | 2029

The 17th overall pick in the 2024 draft, Payne is among the fastest (and youngest) players in his class and could be an 80 runner at peak. At 6’2” 186 lbs from the left side, he’s a prototype center fielder with a slashing swing that opens up just a tick early, so he can get exposed by pitchers who change speeds. And pitchers who can spot velocity up and away. He’s a work in progress, but the tools are loud, and he produced a 113 wRC+ despite striking out 30.1 percent of the time in 77 games. He also hit eight home runs and stole 31 bases: numbers that would map out pretty nicely for us across a fantasy season.

5. RHP Logan Henderson | 24 | MLB | 2025

In five major league starts, Henderson won three games with a 1.78 ERA and 0.99 WHIP. Even so, he spent most of the season in the minor leagues, winning ten of his 15 starts with a 3.59 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. In at least two dozen other organizations, he would’ve been a major league pitcher all year, but this is the strength of the Brewers, who can’t even guarantee Henderson a spot on next year’s club. He might need more than the fastball, changeup combo that powers him now, but he’s proven, as have other Brewers, that command of a small arsenal is effective. Maybe more effective than scattershot control of six pitches.

6. C Jeferson Quero | 23 | AAA | 2026

William Contreras, under contract through 2028, is a good enough hitter to DH when he’s not catching, so maybe that’ll be a non-issue, but it caps Quero’s short-term upside enough that I wouldn’t be buying at the moment. The Brewers do a good job emphasizing the value of minimizing strikeouts from top to bottom, and Quero struck out just 14 percent of the time in 58 Triple-A games this season, slashing .255/.336/.412 with six home runs and two stolen bases. He’s a solid defensive catcher with good contact skills and enough power to make pitchers pay for mistakes, so he’s going to have a major league career, but he’s probably got more real world value than fantasy value.

7. 3B Andrew Fischer | 21 | A+ | 2027

The 20th overall pick in this year’s draft, Fischer jumped right into the Midwest League and did pretty much what he was doing at Tennessee. It was just 19 games, but he slashed .311/.402/.446 with one home run and a surprising eight stolen bases. He slugged .760 during his final college season, so of course you can’t fully capture those college glory days when you reach the day-to-day grind of being a professional, but you keep doing the processes that work and hope to get good results. He’ll be a target for me in first-year-player drafts.

8. RHP Bishop Letson | 22 | AA | 2027

An 11th round pick out of high school in 2023, Letson showed up in spring with a little more juice in his 6’4” 170 lb frame and started blowing away batters who are 3.2 years older than him on average, recording a 1.69 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 43 strikeouts in 37.1 innings High-A innings. He missed much of the season with a shoulder injury but returned just before season’s end and made one start in Double-A.

9. 2B Josh Adamczewski | 20 | A+ | 2028

Gotta hype myself to even attempt to type this name. I can do this. Adamczewski was a 15th round pick out of high school in 2023 and hasn’t stopped hitting since. He slashed .322/.459/.486 in 41 games across two levels last year and .320/.420/.490 in 71 games across three levels this season. A left-handed hitter at 6’0” 190 pounds, Adamczewski passes the eye test with ease as a hitter, controlling the plate quick hands and balance throughout this swing. In the field, he’s got a way to go, but the bat will give him a long runway to figure that out.

10. C Marco Dinges | 22 | A+ | 2027

A 4th round pick out of Florida State in 2024, Dinges bats from the right side at 5’11” 190 lbs and has shown impressive plate skills as a professional, drawing 49 walks (15.5%) against 61 strikeouts (19.2%) while slashing .300/.416/.514 with 13 home runs and five stolen bases in 77 games across Low and High-A this season. Plus he’s got a fun name.
