5 Brewers prospects that could help Milwaukee contend again in 2025

RHP Craig Yoho

Another potential September call up candidate, Craig Yoho is another very likely bullpen arm for the Brewers next season. He dominated the minor leagues this year with video game numbers. He was named a Midwest League All Star despite not having pitched in that league since May 28th.

On the year, Yoho finished with a 0.94 ERA with 101 strikeouts in 57.2 IP with just 23 walks and zero home runs allowed across High-A, Double-A, and Triple-A.

Yoho's stuff is nasty, led by his elite changeup. The strikeout stuff is there and he's big league ready in a bullpen role. If he's not in Milwaukee on Opening Day, he'll be there not much longer after that. While there's generally a shuffle of bullpen arms going up and down between the minors, Yoho's stuff is good enough that even though he's a rookie, there's a good chance he doesn't go back down again.

RHP Logan Henderson

Another high-rising Brewers pitching prospect, Logan Henderson was finally fully healthy this year and rocketed up not only the prospect ranks, but the minor league ladder as well. Henderson made it all the way to Triple-A in 2024, finishing the season with a 3.32 ERA in 19 starts covering 81.1 IP with 104 strikeouts and just 15 walks.

The lack of walks and high strikeout totals stands out with Henderson's numbers. Where there's question marks with Misiorowski's command and ability to remain in the starting rotation, Henderson clearly does not have those same question marks. The command is superb and he should stick as a starter.

The main questions have been health for Henderson. The 81.1 IP he threw this year were the most of his professional career, and he was drafted back in 2021. If the Brewers were to heavily rely on Henderson in their rotation next year, he'd likely face an innings restriction of some kind. While that may limit just how much he pitches in Milwaukee, it seems highly likely that Henderson will have an impact on the 2025 Brewers in as many innings as he's allowed to throw.

Henderson is Rule 5 eligible this winter and appears to be a virtual lock to be added to the 40 man roster given his prospect status, performance this year, and proximity to the big leagues.
