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

20. SS Filippo Di Turi

One of the top signings in the 2023 international class, Di Turi has moved quickly, joining Yophery Rodriguez in Low-A Carolina this season. Di Turi spent a month in the ACL, dominating the league, and hasn't been quite as good since the move to Low-A, but at just 18 years old, he's shown great skill and a high ceiling.

19. RHP Bryce Meccage

Bryce Meccage was the big over-slot signing the Brewers centered their 2024 Draft around. Meccage has top of the rotation upside which should see him climb these rankings as time goes on, but as a high school right hander, the risk is extremely high here. He'll spend the fall in instructional league and make his official professional debut next season.

18. INF Jadher Areinamo

Areinamo is putting up big numbers at High-A Wisconsin this year. His power has ticked up without coming at the expense of his on-base ability, slugging a career high nine homers so far with a .358 OBP. Areinamo can play three infield spots and could have a future as a utility infielder in Milwaukee and if that bat keeps up this performance, perhaps even a starting job, likely at second base.

17. RHP Josh Knoth

Knoth is a year ahead of Meccage as a cold weather high school righty. Knoth has a mid-4.00 ERA with Low-A Carolina. He's another long-term projectable arm that could have top of the rotation upside but there's a long way to go in his development. The important thing is he's been healthy and he's largely been solid in his first pro season.

16. 3B/OF Luke Adams

Adams won the Brewers minor league player of the month for July and he's been a fun name to watch. A 12th round pick back in 2022, Adams combines power (27 XBH this year) and plate discipline (.452 OBP, 70 walks). He's also drawn 31 hit by pitches. Despite being 6'4", Adams has speed, too, with 28 stolen bases through August 6th.

15. 3B Eric Bitonti

Eric Bitonti was one of the crown jewels of the 2023 Brewers Draft. He's a bit further behind Cooper Pratt as a hitter, but the power is definitely there. Bitonti's future is at the hot corner as a left handed power bat. Strikeouts are a concern, but they haven't negatively impacted his performance yet. He was a standout hitter in the ACL before earning a promotion to Low-A.

14. OF Luis Lara

Luis Lara is a gifted switch hitter that has moved quickly through the system, reaching High-A last year as an 18 year old. This year, at age 19, Lara's numbers have regressed a bit while continuing at High-A. He doesn't slug much, profiling as a top of the order hitter with speed. He's been a victim of some bad luck with just a .278 BABIP this year.

13. OF Braylon Payne

This is where the Brewers 1st round pick from the 2024 Draft slots in for his first Brewers prospects rankings. Payne is toolsy and athletic, but raw as a hitter. There could be some power to come, the hit tool needs to develop more, but the speed is already elite. Payne will take some time and there is five tool upside here, but there's a large gap between the floor and ceiling with Payne.

12. 2B/OF Dylan O'Rae

Similar to Payne and Lara, Dylan O'Rae is a hit-over-power player with great on-base skills and speed to burn. O'Rae is further along than both, having already reached Double-A. O'Rae has 51 stolen bases so far with a .385 OBP. O'Rae can play both second base and centerfield. He shows good plate discipline and swing decisions as well.

11. RHP Craig Yoho

The highest riser this year, Craig Yoho has now advanced three levels this season, starting in High-A and reaching Triple-A. The 24 year old was an 8th round pick in last year's Draft and could reach the big league bullpen before the season is over. He has a 0.83 ERA through the first two levels with a whopping 83 strikeouts in 43.1 IP. The next nasty Brewers bullpen arm is almost here and his name is Craig Yoho.
