Team to watch
Wisconsin will have one of the deepest lineups in all of High-A. There will be plenty of speed with Peña and Payne; good pop with Fischer, Dinges and Bitonti and intriguing hit tools in Adamczewski and Dickinson. (Of course, some of these prospects bleed into all three categories.) Fischer, in particular, will draw plenty of intrigue after showing vicious hacks in his first Spring Training and with Team Italy in the World Baseball Classic. Dorchies and Meccage -- both under 20 years old on Opening Day -- begin their second full seasons in the Midwest League as intriguing arms with upside.
COMPLETE BREWERS PROSPECT COVERAGE
Players we could see in MLB in 2026
Sproat won a Major League rotation spot coming out of his first Spring Training in the organization, and Quero came up for a brief MLB debut cameo earlier this week before being returned to Nashville. The 23-year-old catcher still has to show what he can do offensively and defensively with another year removed from his 2024 shoulder surgery, but he’ll at least play a role in the club’s depth behind the plate.
Williams appears tailormade to be a Brewer with his plus-plus speed, defensive versatility and ability to get to decent power in a 5-foot-7 frame. Pratt’s eight-year contract certainly caught attention this week, and he could hold down shortstop as a defender in the Majors already, though he needs more seasoning in Nashville (particularly when it comes to power). Henderson posted a 1.78 ERA with 33 strikeouts in five MLB starts in '25, and after dealing with elbow soreness this spring, he should be right back in the thick of rotation discussions alongside Gasser, who fanned 11 batters over 5 2/3 scoreless innings in his first 2026 outing last week.
New faces
Sproat and Williams are the big additions after they came over from the Mets in the Freddy Peralta/Tobias Myers offseason trade. Milwaukee has made a habit of competing year in and year out in the NL Central while letting go of some of its star players by acquiring MLB-ready (or near-ready) players like those two. Frontado is the most prominent international signing after signing for $1.6 million in January, and he’s already generated excitement within the organization. That should be telling for a club that’s done extremely well at finding and developing international talent in recent years like Made, Peña and Quero.
On the shelf
A second-round pick out of Vanderbilt last summer, Thompson will open the season off a roster after dealing with a hamstring strain in his first Spring Training. He is expected to join Wisconsin once he’s built up in roughly four weeks. Knoth missed the 2025 season due to Tommy John surgery and is still being built up as part of his rehab; he is likely joining a club in May if his progress continues apace. Cairone was hospitalized after being involved in a serious car accident in New Jersey back in January, and the 2025 68th overall pick’s recovery will delay his professional debut.
