Baseball Prospectus is widely regarded as one of the best sites for prospect analysis. While most major publications have already released their lists of the top prospects in baseball, BP didn’t release theirs until this Wednesday.
Four of the five Brewers who made the list are consensus top prospects. The fifth is a recent draftee who hasn’t appeared on any other list this offseason.

No. 3 Jesus Made
No surprises here. Made hasn’t been ranked lower than fourth by any of the main prospect publications. He has one of the highest ceilings in the game and has only gotten better while rising through the minors. For more on Made, check out my recaps of the Baseball America and MLB Pipeline lists.
No. 30 Luis Peña
Peña is ranked slightly lower than on many other lists — MLB Pipeline, ESPN, and The Athletic’s Keith Law had him ranked either No. 26 or 27. Baseball America had him at No. 45. Peña has just as much upside as Made does, especially if he figures out defensive concerns. With his speed and arm, he might be a better centerfielder than he is a shortstop. Peña’s numbers also fell off a bit in High-A, so a strong first couple of months of the season would have him even higher by the time midseason prospect rankings come out.

No. 41 Jett Williams
Williams, acquired from the Mets in the trade that sent Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers to New York, seems like a quintessential Brewers prospect. His best traits are his speed, his on-base ability, his swing decisions, and his baserunning. He’s a well-rounded, versatile prospect who can play both middle infield positions and the outfield. I won’t say too much more about Williams because I have a film breakdown coming — if that interests you, check BCB next week.
No. 75 Andrew Fischer
Fischer hasn’t been on any other list that I’ve covered, but he was ranked the top third base prospect in baseball by MLB Pipeline earlier this offseason. He was widely hailed as a great pick by the Brewers at No. 20 overall and has done nothing but live up to that billing in his limited time with the organization. Fischer is a developed hitter who spent three years in college (at Duke, Ole Miss, and finally the University of Tennessee) and hit at least .285 every season. Scouting reports leading up to the 2025 draft detailed his mature approach, his ability to drive the ball to all fields, and his propensity to make hard contact. He hit .341 in his final collegiate season with 25 home runs and an insane .497 on-base percentage.

Upon joining the Brewers, Fischer went straight to High-A Wisconsin and slashed .311/.402/.446 (.848 OPS) in 19 games. To put it succinctly, he has the makings of a player who could rise very, very quickly through the farm system — something Baseball Prospectus probably took into consideration ranking him this high. BP also tends to weigh analytics pretty heavily. Despite a limited sample size, Fischer has already been making hard contact and generating high exit velocities — two things that stood out about his profile in college. There’s a world where he more than justifies this ranking after a full season of minor league ball.
No. 76 Brandon Sproat
Sproat, like Made, Peña, and Williams, is pretty much universally considered a top 100 prospect in baseball. He’s been a top prospect for a couple of years now, but fell in the rankings compared to last year (No. 39). To be fair, his season-long numbers weren’t great in 2025 — an ERA over 4 isn’t exactly eye-popping. Despite that, the signs are there that Sproat could become a valuable piece for the Brewers in 2026. He had a rough start to 2025, but pitched extremely well (2.44 ERA, 30% strikeout rate) over his last 11 Triple-A starts. His September call-up didn’t go all that well (4.79 ERA), but it’s hard to take much away from just four starts.
For more on Sproat, check out the Baseball America article linked at the top. Like Williams, I have an article coming on him, so I don’t want to say too much…
