The Milwaukee Brewers had five prospects in 2024 who graduated from prospect status (Jackson Chourio, Joey Ortiz, Tobias Myers, DL Hall, and Oliver Dunn) and played key roles in helping the Brewers win back-to-back NL Central titles. Heading into 2025, there's likely to be even more prospects debuting to help this team remain competitive.

Some prospect graduations may be expected coming in, such as Jackson Chourio and Joey Ortiz were. The Brewers had planned for big roles for them and they thrived in their rookie seasons. Some were a bit surprising, such as Tobias Myers, who came out of nowhere to be the Brewers best starting pitcher down the stretch.

Who could be those guys next season? Here are five more Brewers prospects who appear primed to help the team contend again in 2025.

RHP Jacob Misiorowski

It was a mild surprise that the Brewers didn't call up Jacob Misiorowski down the stretch in 2024. He was promoted to Triple-A Nashville in August, he was moved to a bullpen role to manage his innings but also prepare him for a potential big league call up that just never came. However, it's unlikely Misiorowski is going to have to wait too much longer to make his MLB debut.

Misiorowski finished the season with a 3.33 ERA across Double-A and Triple-A with 127 strikeouts in 97.1 IP but also an unsightly 60 walks. The free passes got better as the year went on and dropped when he went to the bullpen, but the command has always been a problem for him.

It remains to be seen if the Brewers still will try to keep Misiorowski as a starter long-term. The bullpen seems a more likely outcome for the long-limbed flamethrower, and he could immediately slot into the back end of the Brewers bullpen in 2025, where his innings can be managed and his stuff can play up.
