5. 3B Brock Wilken

Brock Wilken has been as advertised in his first full professional season. The Crew's 2023 first round pick has huge raw power, slugging 14 homers so far in Double-A Biloxi. Wilken is sticking at third base so far and while there are some concerns with strikeouts and the hit tool, Wilken is never going to hit for a high average, but he's hitting enough to tap into his power so far.

4. SS Cooper Pratt

A high riser in 2024, Cooper Pratt was a first round talent in the 2023 Draft that the Brewers snagged in the 6th round for an over-slot bonus. Tall and strong, Pratt has shown the ability to stick at shortstop and provide a ton of thump with the bat. Pratt went on a 35 game on-base streak earlier this year, was named to the All Star Futures Game, and has reached Top 100 prospect status. While his home run power is still developing, Pratt is looking every bit the five tool shortstop the Brewers envisioned when they drafted him a year ago.

3. RHP Jacob Misiorowski

The Brewers top pitching prospect is Jacob Misiorowski. So far sticking as a starter, Misiorowski has some of the best pure stuff in the minors that could play in the big league bullpen right now. Milwaukee intends to keep him as a starter for now, but upon his recent promotion to Triple-A he will pitch in shorter stints to help prepare him for a possible late 2024 call up to the majors. He could return to the rotation in 2025 or he has upside as a right-handed Josh Hader type reliever.

2. 1B Tyler Black

Black has gotten some short looks in the majors this year but the lack of a clear path to playing time has left him in Triple-A, where he continues to rake. Black has started to see some time in the outfield as well as the corner infield spots. He projects as an above-average hitter with speed but limited pop. His lack of a premium defensive home leaves him just below the top spot.

1. C Jeferson Quero

Despite Quero injuring his shoulder on Opening Day, he sits in the top spot on this prospect list. An elite defender behind the plate with an above-average bat, Quero has all the makings of a future starting catcher with All Star potential. Provided his throwing arm returns to its elite status following shoulder surgery, Quero can be the backup to William Contreras in 2025 and the heir apparent to him. He'll likely need more ABs at Triple-A before he gets called up, though.
