The Milwaukee Brewers won 93 games in 2024 and won for the second year in a row Central Division of the National League title. This development came as a surprise to many for many reasons, including how teenage they were (and still are).
Last season, 11 different players made their Major League debuts for Milwaukee or were considered rookies when they took the field for the first time in 2024. They were:
- Tyler Black
- Bradley Blalock
- Jackson Chourio
- Isaac Collins
- Oliver Dunn
- Robert Gasser
- Tyler Jay
- James Meeker
- Tobias Myers
- Carlos Rodriguez
- Chris Roller
Additionally, it was recognized that 10 more players are playing in the Major League for the second year (according to Baseball references):
- Joey Więcer
- Abner Uribe
- Brice Turang
- Blake Perkins
- Joey Ortiz
- Andrew Monasterio
- Jared Koenig
- Bryan Hudson
- Brewer Hicklen
- Frelick Hall
So it should come as no surprise that there are 11 players (some of whom have already been mentioned above) who are considered potential players in the Brewers farm system, but they are expected to appear in the major leagues at some point next season.
1. Jefferson Quero: Catcher
Jefferson Quero is the Brewers’ top prospect and should start the 2025 season in Triple-A Nashville. Milwaukee already has William Contreras and Eric Haase as catchers, but Quero is on their 40-man roster (he was added to protect him from the Rule 5 draft).
Quero missed all but two games last season with a torn labrum. In 2023, he hit .262/.339/.441 with 16 home runs and 49 RBI for Double-A Biloxi and won the minor league Gold Glove award for catcher.
2. Jakub Misiorowski: Right-handed pitcher
Milwaukee’s third prospect, Jacob Misiorowski, appeared in 33 games (21 starts) between Double-A and Triple-A last year. He was 3-5 with a 3.33 ERA and 1.20 WHIP.
He struck out 127 batters in 97.1 innings.
Like Quero, Misiorowski will likely start the season in Triple-A. However, he could be called up mid-season or in September to provide depth in both the starting rotation and the bullpen.
It’s worth adding that he started all 19 games he appeared in in Triple-A.
3. Tyler Black: First/third base, outfield
Tyler Black made his Major League debut for the Brewers last season, but he hit just .204/.316/.245 in 49 games with the team.
In 102 games played at Triple-A, Black hit .258/.375/.429 with 14 home runs and 67 RBI. He also stole 20 bases.
Rhys Hoskins will man Milwaukee’s first base (unless he is traded), and the third player on this list could take over at third base. The outfield is already crowded, so Black will likely start the season in Triple-A again.
4. Robert Gasser: Left-handed pitcher
Robert Gasser was originally acquired by the Brewers in the trade that sent Josh Hader to the San Diego Padres. He made his Major League debut last season and was outstanding, going 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in five starts.
Unfortunately, his season ended due to an elbow injury that required surgery. His recovery time is estimated at 12-14 months, so he won’t be able to return to Milwaukee until August.
5. Brock Wilken: Third base
Brock Wilken is a hitting third baseman with a strikeout tendency. While the Brewers’ prospect page projects him to reach the Big League in 2025, it’s strenuous to imagine him doing so unless he drastically improves his patience at the plate.
Last year, Wilken hit .200/.314/.365 with 17 home runs and 51 RBI in Double-A. In the Arizona Fall League, he hit just .155/.260/.310 with four home runs and nine RBIs (23 games played).
6. Logan Henderson: Right-handed pitcher
Very few prospects have entered the Brewers’ farm system as quickly as Henderson. Last season, he started the year in High-A and finished in Triple-A.
In 19 starts at various levels, Henderson was 7-6 with an ERA of 3.32 and a WHIP of 0.91. He also struck out 104 times in just 81.1 wins, with only 15 walks.
Like Quero, he was added to the Brewers’ 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. Since he’s already on the 40-man roster, it’s secure to assume he’ll be in the Majors this season.
7. Mike Boeve: First/third baseman
While he will likely start the season in Triple-A (since he hasn’t appeared in Nashville yet), Mike Boeve is a name that could be thrilling if someone is a Brewers fan. He started last season in High-A but quickly rose through the ranks after hitting .553/.642/.632 in 13 games for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers.
In Double-A, he hit .306/.374/.447 with six home runs and 28 RBI in 66 games.
His playing time at first and third base was split pretty evenly last season.
8. Caleb Durbin: Second/third baseman
Acquired by the Brewers in the Devin Williams trade, many believe he could play third base for the Brewers in 2025 as Joey Ortiz is expected to move to shortstop following the departure of Willy Adames.
Last season, Durbin played for the Yankees’ Single-A, Double-A and Triple-A affiliates and hit .275/.388/.451 with 10 home runs, 60 RBI and 31 stolen bases. He walked more than he did.
Durbin recently broke the Arizona Fall League record for stolen bases in a season with 29 games (the AZFL has a 24-game season).
9. Brett Wichrowski: Right-handed pitcher
Brett Wichrowski is another pitcher who could receive a call-up slow in the 2025 season. He is a right-handed pitcher who went 2-4 last year with a 3.84 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 21 starts between High-A and Double -AND.
However, he needs to work on his mastery of the game, as he averaged 7.7 hits and 3.9 walks over nine innings.
10. Craig Yoho: Right-handed pitcher
One of the reasons Milwaukee was so willing to deal Devin Williams this offseason was because they have Craig Yoho waiting in the wings. His changeup is almost as unbeatable as Williams’, as shown by the video game numbers he put up in 2024.
While traversing the Brewers’ farm system, Yoho appeared in 48 games and had a 0.94 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. He was 4-2 with 10 saves, but what was most impressive was the number of strikeouts he had compared to the number of innings he had thrown.
Yoho struck out 101 batters in just 57.2 innings.
He also didn’t hit a single home run.
11. Carlos Rodriguez: Right-handed pitcher
Carlos Rodriguez was one of the players who made his Major League debut for the Brewers last season. It was rather out of necessity, however, as he clearly wasn’t ready; however, Milwaukee needed a starter as many players were injured.
Rodriguez was 0-3 with a 7.30 ERA and 1.78 WHIP in three starts for the Brewers last year.
He struggled early in the season in Nashville, but got better as the season went on. He finished the year 9-9 with a 4.51 ERA and 1.24 WHIP.
