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

30. RHP Yorman Galindez

Yorman Galindez was having a breakout season in Low-A Carolina, pitching to a 2.45 ERA in 11 starts with 64 strikeouts in 40.1 IP. Unfortunately, on July 1st, Galindez was placed on the full season injured list. He's been improving every year, even though the walks are still a bit high. There's hope that once he returns to the mound, that he can continue that upward trend.

29. RHP Chad Patrick

Chad Patrick came over in the Abraham Toro trade last offseason and he's been arguably the best starting pitcher in Triple-A this year. He's striking out nearly a batter per inning with a low walk rate and sub-3.00 ERA. Patrick is Rule 5 eligible this offseason and is making a strong case to be added to the 40 man if he's not called up before then.

28. C Matthew Wood

A 4th round pick a few years ago out of Penn State, Wood has been a solid contributor with the bat while developing behind the plate. Wood has spent this season at High-A Wisconsin, putting up good, albeit not eye-popping numbers. He looks to be trending more towards being a backup catcher at the big leagues unless that bat can take a little more of a jump.

27. RHP Bishop Letson

An 11th rounder out of high school last year, the Brewers convinced Letson to forgo college and that decision is looking good so far for both sides. He's put up strong numbers in Low-A Carolina in his first professional season. Letson is a long ways away as a young, projectable arm, but he's doing nothing to disprove the idea that he can stick as a starter.

26. RHP Brett Wichrowski

Wichrowski has gone from a forgettable, small school Day 3 Draft pick last year to a breakout pitching prospect with elite velocity. His fastball has ticked up from mid-90s to upper-90s, flashing 100 MPH at times with a wipeout slider to go with it. He has a full four pitch mix and could stick as a starter, but there's reliever risk here.

25. SS Juan Baez

If you like hitters who make contact, Juan Baez is your guy. In his first 263 plate appearances this year, Baez has just 19 strikeouts. Baez has more gap power than home run power. On the optimistic end of the scale, the comps for Baez would be a Luis Arraez or Steven Kwan type of offensive profile.

24. RHP Shane Smith

Shane Smith is a pop up prospect this year who has shown a real indication that he could be the next big league success story for the Brewers. The 24 year old was a UDFA out of Wake Forest in 2021 and he transitioned from the bullpen to the rotation this year with great results. Smith could find himself in the big leagues soon and he's Rule 5 eligible this winter.

23. 1B Blake Burke

The Brewers CB-A selection in the 2024 Draft, Blake Burke helped lead Tennessee to a College World Series title. Burke has power, hitting ability, and the ability to move quickly through the system. Burke is a left handed power bat that should thrive in American Family Field. It's a first base only profile though so a lot of pressure will be on the bat.

22. 1B Wes Clarke

Wes Clarke is similar to Burke as a power bat that's likely limited to just first base, except Clarke is right handed and further along in his development. Clarke has held his own in Triple-A with solid numbers and his proximity to the big leagues gives him a leg up over Burke in these rankings. Strikeouts are a concern here.

21. SS Jesus Made

While Made signed for the second-highest bonus in the Brewers 2024 international class, he's made the largest impact without a doubt. Made has won Complex League player of the month for the Brewers in both June and July, his OPS is over 1.000, he's hitting for power, average, and has tons of speed. Made could even skip the ACL next season and be on the fast track.
