Brewers Prospects: Every Minor League Player of the Week for 2023
These Brewers prospects have earned the honor so far in 2023.
The Milwaukee Brewers have recently developed their minor league organization into one of the better ones across the league as they've compiled a group of impressive prospects. Sometimes, one of those prospects goes off and has a particularly outstanding week.
When that happens, Minor League Baseball may take notice and honor that prospect with a player of the week award. Every week, one position player and one pitcher from each league at every level are bestowed that particular honor.
This year, a handful of Brewers prospects have earned minor league player of the week awards and here, we've compiled a quick list of the honorees for 2023, a list we'll continue to update as the season goes on.
Here is your list of every minor league player of the week for the Brewers organization in 2023.
Week 2 - RHP Aidan Maldonado, Low-A Carolina Mudcats
It didn't take long for a Brewers prospect to bring home a player of the week award with the first going to Mudcats pitcher Aidan Maldonado. In the first two outings of his professional career, one a start and one in relief, he threw seven scoreless innings on just a hit and two walks while striking out eight.
Week 6 - RHP Tobias Meyers, Double-A Biloxi Shuckers
Acquired last November in free agency, pitcher Tobias Myers had a strong outing for the Shuckers in week six. In one scoreless outing that week, the righty went 6 1/3 innings and gave up two hits and two walks while reaching double digit strikeouts with ten.
Week 8 - RHP Jacob Misiorowski, Low-A Carolina Mudcats
It was only a matter of time before top Brewers pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski earned his first player of the week award and in week eight the moment came. That week, the tall fireballer pitched five scoreless, hitless, base-on-ball-free innings and struck out nine. He has since been promoted twice and also appeared in this season's MLB Futures Game.
Week 13 - INF Abraham Toro, Triple-A Nashville Sounds
Though he hasn't played much in the majors since being acquired in the Jesse Winker-Kolten Wong trade, Abraham Toro has been solid this year down at Triple-A. In week 13, he won the International League player of the week award when he hit .500 with a 1.675 OPS while crushing a pair of homers and driving in 10.
Week 15 - 3B Luke Adams, Low-A Carolina Mudcats
A third Mudcats player earned player of the week honors in week 15, this time being infielder Luke Adams. The 12th round pick from 2022 mashed his way there by hitting .588 with a 1.784 OPS and hitting three doubles and two homers, driving in eight, stealing three bags, and scoring nine runs in an all-around amazing week.
Week 16 - RHP Edwin Jimenez, High-A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers
The Timber Rattlers saw a prospect receive a player of the week honor for the first time in week 16 with the honor going to pitcher Edwin Jimenez. He was extremely sharp in his start that week, pitching 7.1 scoreless innings and giving up just a hit and three walks and reaching double digit strikeouts with 10.
Week 17 - 1B Wes Clarke, Double-A Biloxi Shuckers
In week 17, Shuckers first baseman Wes Clarke had one of the most impressive weeks of any prospect so far this season as he went 7-for-23 with a whopping five home runs, two doubles, and 12 runs batted in.
Week 19 - RHP Jacob Misiorowski, Double-A Biloxi Shuckers
Why, look who it is! The Brewers' top pitching prospect earned his second player of the week honor of the season in week19, this time as a member of the Shuckers. In his one start of the week, he pitched a career-high six innings and held his opponent scoreless while giving up just a hit and three walks. He also not only set a career high but also tied a Shuckers record with 12 strikeouts.
Week 20 - RHP Evan McKendry, Triple-A Nashville Sounds
One of the quieter moves at this year's trade deadline was when the Brewers traded minor league catcher Alex Jackson to the Rays for another minor leaguer in right-hander Evan McKendry. Well, the latter has already made his mark as he nabbed a player of the week award with one outing last week that saw him give up a run in six innings on just a hit and two walks with six strikeouts.
Week 22 - 1B Zavier Warren, Double-A Biloxi Shuckers & Alexander Cornielle, High-A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers
The Brewers system got multiple player of the week winners for the first time in week 22. Shuckers first baseman Zavier Warren won it while going 9-for-20 with three extra base hits (one double, one triple, and one homer) while driving in seven. Meanwhile, Timber Rattlers righty Alexander Cornielle also took home honors because of his start last week in which he went seven scoreless and gave up three hits on a walk while punching out nine.
