MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Brewers launched “The Freshmen,” a multi-episode docuseries capturing the journey of Brewers top prospects and homegrown and highly-rated talent, Jackson Chourio, Sal Frelick, Garrett Mitchell, Brice Turang and Joey Wiemer. The series gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at life as a prospect and the journey toward earning a Major League spot, told through each player’s individual story.

“This is a group that is exciting to watch, players who have all the tools to get to the next level and enjoy sustained success,” said Brewers Senior Vice President and General Manager Matt Arnold. “They have fun and work hard, and you see that come through on the field and in the clubhouse. We’re very fortunate to have the infrastructure in place, and support from ownership to staff, to guide our prospects as they navigate through the farm system, and ultimately with the goal to positively impact the club at the Major League level.”

The next two episodes take place at 2023 Spring Training and are slated to be released on March 21 and 28. These installments will take a deeper dive into the personal lives of the players, their friendships with each other and how they manage the Major League grind.
