Milwaukee Brewers mid-season Top 50 Prospects following the 2024 Trade Deadline

Now that the chaos of the MLB Trade Deadline and the 2024 Draft and signing deadline for draft picks has passed, it's time to update the Brewers prospect rankings.

Most rankings haven't been totally refreshed since the beginning of the season and a lot has changed since that time as the minor league season has unfolded. Some prospects have gone on to have breakout seasons and push their way up the rankings while others have struggled at advanced levels and dropped.

The Brewers have one of the top farm systems in baseball and the results are showing that on the field. Milwaukee's minor league affiliates have a combined winning percentage of .560, which is the highest in all of baseball. High-A Wisconsin and Low-A Carolina have clinched postseason berths already with first half championships.

It's a deep group of prospects. They traded away from it a little bit at the Trade Deadline, sending out Gregory Barrios, Bradley Blalock, and Yujanyer Herrera, all of whom were going to be on this top 50 list. But they also added some new names in the Draft, including Braylon Payne, Blake Burke, and Bryce Meccage. Where do they fall? Let's get into the list.

Brewers Top 50 prospects

50. RHP Coleman Crow

The Brewers acquired Coleman Crow from the Mets as the return for Adrian Houser and Tyrone Taylor. Crow is not pitching in 2024 as he's recovering from Tommy John surgery. The Brewers knew this at the time. He broke out a little bit before the injury and the Brewers are hoping that breakout will prove to be real once he returns to the mound.

49. C Marco Dinges

Dinges was the Brewers 4th round pick in the 2024 Draft out of Florida State. The bat here is solid and he should hit enough to play everyday behind the plate. The question is if he's able to stick defensively at catcher. There's work to do but the Brewers believe he can do it.

48. SS Juan Ortuno

Juan Ortuno has burst onto the scene in the Dominican Summer League this year. After signing for a modest bonus in January out of Venezuela, Ortuno has hit over .350 with 18 stolen bases and more walks than strikeouts. His speed and plate discipline have opened some eyes and put Ortuno on the map.

47. RHP Wenderlyn King

The Crew's Complex League pitcher of the month in June, Wenderlyn King is another pop up prospect from the 2024 international signing class. What stands out most for King is his control at such a young age. King has allowed just four walks in 29.2 IP with 31 strikeouts as he's dominated the DSL.

46. RHP Alexander Cornielle

The 22 year old Cornielle has pitched really well this season at High-A Wisconsin as a starter. His walk rate has continued to drop and he's improved quite a bit in his second year at High-A. The next challenge for Cornielle will be the jump to High-A if he can make it and if his stuff will translate to that higher level.

45. 1B Ernesto Martinez

Ernesto Martinez is one of the most fun players in the organization, standing at 6'6" the first baseman hits for average and has some power and doesn't strike out very much. He's repeating Double-A this year and has been on an absolute tear at the plate. Martinez consistently posts above-average OPS numbers and he has surprising speed for his size, already stealing 16 bases this year. He should be challenged with a Triple-A promotion soon.

44. OF Jose Anderson

A DSL All Star this year, Jose Anderson is another sleeper international signing in 2024 that quickly burst onto the scene. Anderson is one of the league leaders in home runs in the DSL and he's a speed threat on the bases, too. Anderson is a talented all around hitter with big power and defensively he has a strong throwing arm as well.

43. SS Josh Adamczewski

A 15th round draft pick last year, Adamczewski was one of the Crew's top hitters in the Arizona Complex League before earning a promotion to Low-A Carolina. Adamczewski is a solid defender at short and an on-base machine with the potential for more power to come. It's early and he's a long ways out, but the low strikeout totals and early success are a great sign of things to come and future rises up the prospect list.

42. OF Yhoswar Garcia

The Brewers picked up the 22 year old Garcia after he was released following a couple mediocre seasons in the Phillies organization. Since joining Low-A Carolina, all Garcia has done is rake. He's hitting near. 300 with more extra base pop this year and has already broken the Mudcats single season stolen base record.

41. RHP Manuel Rodriguez

The 18 year old Rodriguez has steadily climbed through the system, getting better every single season. Rodriguez isn't a hard thrower, but he knows how to pitch and fill up the zone. Through his first 16 starts this season, Rodriguez has allowed just nine walks to 71 strikeouts. He gets good spin rates and is a projectable arm for the Brewers pitching lab to work with.
