Top Brewers prospect to compete against the game's best in All-Star Futures Game

While the MLB All-Star Week draws headlines with the Home Run Derby and the main event itself, a crucial glimpse into baseball’s future comes quietly on the Saturday before — at the MLB All-Star Futures Game. And this year, fans of the Milwaukee Brewers have a major reason to tune in.

Infielder Jesús Made, Milwaukee’s top overall prospect and the youngest participant in this year’s contest, will represent the organization in Atlanta on July 12. Just 18 years old, Made will join a field of elite National League prospects, including San Diego Padres shortstop Leo De Vries and Cincinnati Reds corner infielder Sal Stewart, in a nationally televised display of the sport’s brightest up-and-coming talent.

Jesús Made to shine in MLB Futures Game spotlight

Made’s rise has been meteoric. After signing with the Brewers in 2024, the Dominican-born infielder wasted no time turning heads in the organization. Currently playing for Low-A Carolina, he’s slashing an impressive .283/.390/.421 with four home runs and 40 RBI, while showcasing maturity at the plate well beyond his years. Scouts were particularly enamored with his plate discipline; Made sports a minuscule 15% chase rate, 89% contact rate — elite plate coverage metrics that are rarely seen in players this young.

But Made isn’t just a patient bat — he brings thunder, too. His 47% hard-hit rate and 103.9 mph 90th-percentile exit velocity have drawn comparisons to established MLB stars like Jazz Chisholm Jr. and José Ramírez. And again, he’s doing all of this at an age when most prospects are just getting their first taste of pro ball.

It’s no small feat that Made is the Brewers' lone representative at the Futures Game — especially considering Milwaukee’s farm system is widely regarded as one of the deepest in baseball. His selection underscores not just his potential, but how far ahead of schedule he is compared to his peers. While many Futures Game participants are on the brink of a big-league call-up, Made is still at the early stages of his development — and already worthy of a national spotlight.

For Brewers fans dreaming of the next franchise cornerstone, the Futures Game showcase offers a glimpse of what could be. Made may not be knocking on the big-league door just yet, but make no mistake — he’s racing toward it faster than anyone anticipated.
