The minor league regular season wrapped up about a week and a half ago, ending the year for most of the prospects within the Milwaukee Brewers’ organization. As a whole the organization’s seven affiliates combined for a 372-381 record with each of the three highest level affiliates posting winning records – AAA Colorado Springs at 80-57, AA […]

Freddy Peralta and Quality Depth
Corbin Burnes is going to win the Milwaukee Brewers’ organizational minor league pitcher of the year award, and deservedly so. In his first full season as a professional, Burnes authored a pristine 1.67 ERA across 145.7 innings split between Class Advanced-A Carolina and Class-AA Biloxi. Only two pitchers across all of the minor leagues reached the 100 innings […]
Meet Thomas Jankins
The minor league regular season will be coming to a close within the next two weeks, and three out of the four full-season teams that are associated with the Milwaukee Brewers are still legitimately competing for a playoff spot. The Class-AAA Colorado Springs Sky Sox have a 9.0 game divisional lead and look like a […]
Revisiting 2014
Narratives can change relatively quickly in baseball. We are seeing that play out right now with our own beloved local nine; a month ago, they were a band of young sluggers that had spent two months in first place. Those Brewers appeared primed to shock the baseball world in 2017 and knock the Cubs from […]
Hernan Takes the Mound!
On July 27th, 2010, the Milwaukee Brewers faced off against the Cincinnati Reds at Miller Park. Yovani Gallardo got the start for the home team, and it wasn’t a good one. Gallardo threw 70 pitches across 2.7 innings, allowing 10 hits and six runs to come across the plate (though Yo did clobber a two-run homer […]
Meet Tyler Webb
Yesterday was a busy day for the two top teams in the National League Central, as both the Chicago Cubs and our own Milwaukee Brewers made trades to upgrade their rosters. Granted, the Cubs did go out and get rotational stalwart Jose Quintana for a package of top prospects, making Milwaukee’s minor trade for a rookie […]
Stoked for Carolina
At the beginning of the 2017 minor league baseball season, I wrote that the Carolina Mudcats and their stacked roster should be a team to give your attention to this summer. With four of the Brewers’ top 10 Baseball Prospectus prospects and 10 of Milwaukee’s top 30 prospects (per MLB Pipeline) assigned to the roster to […]
May Prospects: 3 Up 3 Down
Last year at BP Milwaukee, we introduced the “3 Up, 3 Down” feature to take a look at how the prospects down on the farm are trending throughout the regular season. We took a look at a few players in each category back in late April, and now with about two months of the regular season complete […]
The Call-Up: Paolo Espino
The Situation: The Milwaukee Brewers find themselves in unfamiliar territory early on this season: in first place in the National League Central at 24-18. The Brew Crew’s hot start has been thanks in large part to an offense that ranks second in the league with 221 runs scored. The pitching staff looked rather suspect early […]
Competing and Pitching Reinforcements
Today is May 5th, and the Milwaukee Brewers are over .500 at 15-14. That’s a bit crazy to fathom, isn’t it? As fans, we have been conditioned to accept losing over the past few seasons while our favorite team rebuilds. After all, Milwaukee spent a total of ZERO days over the .500 mark during the […]
