Milwaukee’s top pitching prospects for 2022
Ethan Small
Ethan Small is almost universally looked at as the Brewers’ top pitching prospect. The lefty has posted an incredible 1.74 ERA in his two seasons in the minor leagues. With that kind of production, the Brewers could consider bringing him up to the majors sometime this year. Milwaukee has had one of the best starting rotations in baseball in recent years, so it might be hard for Small to slot in as a starter immediately. He could be looking at some bullpen opportunities in the fall if he continues to produce in the minor leagues. Small’s potential is through the roof and could follow in the footsteps of other Brewers homegrown pitchers like Burnes, Woodruff and Peralta.
