See where Ebel Bros. land on Brewers' new Top 30 list … and Brady's spot on Top 100

Brady Ebel, Top 100 prospect.

Ebel backed up that newly acquired lofty status Thursday night by swiping a career-high three bags while collecting a pair of hits in Single-A Wilson’s 12-3 win over Columbia at Wilson Ballpark.

The Brewers’ No. 5 prospect, who turned 19 years old in late July, rocketed a double in the first inning that one-hopped the left-field wall on the eighth pitch of a back-and-forth battle. After walking his next time up in the third, Ebel swiped both second and third base, coming around to score on a passed ball. He beat out an infield single an inning later and promptly swiped second again, putting himself in position to score after a throwing error.

A prep standout from Corona (Calif.) HS on a club that made MLB Draft history in 2025, he went 32nd overall to the Brewers and took his lumps in a brief 16-game pro debut. Such was the case through April of this season. But then came May and Ebel hasn’t looked back, establishing himself as the latest Milwaukee phenom to soar up the prospect rankings.

Ebel hit .326 with a .982 OPS in May, earning Single-A Carolina League Player of the Week honors toward the end of the month for a particularly hot stretch. But that was just setting the table for July, when he slashed .338/.490/.571 across 21 contests.

Many prospects enjoy a meteoric rise at a young age on the back of loud, undeniable tools. While Ebel has flashed his fair share of that with 38 steals in 41 attempts and top-tier exit velocities, he’s also shown a gifted eye beyond his years at the dish. MLB's No. 99 prospect has been content to take his walks, leading all Brewers prospects with 93 free passes this season, almost a 1:1 ratio with his strikeout total (98).

Ebel has seen the second-most pitches of any Milwaukee prospect in 2026 and is swinging and missing less than 10 percent of the time. Overall, he's posted a .418 on-base percentage this year, tops among players currently plying their trade in the Carolina League, while his 128 wRC+ is tied for fifth-highest on that circuit.

Ebel’s breakout campaign has also put him among rarefied air of the game’s elite teenage power/speed threats. The 6-foot-3 shortstop is one of just five players to collect 35+ extra-base hits and 35+ steals at age 19 or younger this year, joining fellow top 2025 Draft selections -- and now fellow Top 100 prospects -- Eli Willits (WSH No. 1/MLB No. 4) and Tate Southisene (ATL No. 3/MLB No. 60).

Thursday was a big day for Brady's family as well. Younger brother Trey, one year behind him at Corona, joined the Brewers’ Top 30 Prospects list as MLB Pipeline added members of the 2026 Draft class. Taken seven picks earlier than his brother was a year earlier, the 17-year-old Ebel checked in at No. 18.

With the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League season finished, Wilson would certainly make sense as the first stop on the Brewers’ Minor League ladder if Trey was to get into official games before the end of 2026.

“I told him I’m coming for him,” Trey said last month, “and I can’t wait to get to work.”
