Predicting where the Brewers' top shortstop prospects will begin the 2026 season

Just a few years ago, the Milwaukee Brewers' farm system was headlined by outfield talent. In fact, at one point during the 2023 season, the organization’s top four prospects were all outfielders: Jackson Chourio, Sal Frelick, Garrett Mitchell, and Joey Wiemer.

This year, and likely continuing into next, shortstop prospects have taken center stage in the Brewers’ farm system. Jesus Made has rightfully earned the top spot, followed by Luis Peña at No. 2 and Cooper Pratt close behind at No. 3, according to MLB Pipeline's prospect rankings.

Made and Peña, both international prospects from the Dominican Republic, have risen through the system side by side, earning simultaneous promotions from Low-A to High-A this season, after beginning their professional careers in the Dominican Summer League in 2024.
