This top Brewers prospect is deserving of a promotion to the next level

The Milwaukee Brewers have no shortage of intriguing young talent working their way through the farm system, but for most of the 2025 season, all eyes have been on the infield pipeline. Recent promotions of Jesús Made and Luis Peña to High-A Wisconsin have generated plenty of buzz, as the pair continues to turn heads with their athleticism and raw tools.

But there’s another name that deserves to be mentioned alongside them, and if his production is any indication, he might be forcing his way into that conversation.

Brewers breakout prospect Josh Adamczewski is forcing the organization's hand for a promotion

Josh Adamczewski entered the 2025 season quietly, ranked outside of Milwaukee’s top 30 prospects. Now, just a few months later, the 20-year-old left-handed hitter has ascended to No. 14 in the system and is playing like a prospect on the fast track. In 40 games with Single-A Carolina, Adamczewski is slashing a blistering .349/.439/.564 with five home runs, 35 RBI, and a steady knack for driving the ball to all fields.

While his bat is clearly his carrying tool, Adamczewski has also been a solid runner and a steady hand at second base. His range has been a strength, though his arm strength limits him to the right side of the infield. There have also been occasional hiccups with the gather or transfer, the type of defensive polish that often comes with reps and experience.

Still, with Made and Peña getting plenty of infield reps in Carolina, Adamczewski was able to focus solely on refining his offensive game. He’s seen his good share of time at second base, with plenty of opportunities at DH, ensuring his bat stays in the lineup as often as possible.

The challenge? The Brewers’ current infield structure makes it tricky to promote all three at once without creating a positional logjam. But if Adamczewski continues to hit like this, Milwaukee may soon have no choice but to bump him up a level, even if it means shuffling the pieces to make it work.

For now, the 20-year-old is proving that he’s more than just a breakout name in the rankings. He’s becoming one of the most consistent and dangerous bats in the Brewers’ system, and it’s only a matter of time before the Timber Rattlers get a closer look at what he can do.
