5 Brewers prospects that could help Milwaukee contend again in 2025
RHP Jacob Misiorowski
He was promoted to Triple-A Nashville in August, he was moved to a bullpen role to manage his innings but also prepare him for a potential big league call up that just never came. Misiorowski finished the season with a 3.33 ERA across Double-A and Triple-A with 127 strikeouts in 97.1 IP but also an unsightly 60 walks. The free passes got better as the year went on and dropped when he went to the bullpen, but the command has always been a problem for him. The bullpen seems a more likely outcome for him, and he could immediately slot into the back end of the Brewers bullpen in 2025.
RHP Craig Yoho
Craig Yoho is another very likely bullpen arm for the Brewers next season. He dominated the minor leagues this year with video game numbers. He was named a Midwest League All Star despite not having pitched in that league since May 28th. This year, Yoho finished with a 0.94 ERA with 101 strikeouts in 57.2 IP with just 23 walks and zero home runs allowed across High-A, Double-A, and Triple-A.
RHP Logan Henderson
Henderson made it all the way to Triple-A in 2024, finishing the season with a 3.32 ERA in 19 starts covering 81.1 IP with 104 strikeouts and just 15 walks. The lack of walks and high strikeout totals stands out with Henderson’s numbers. Where there’s question marks with Misiorowski’s command and ability to remain in the starting rotation, Henderson clearly does not have those same question marks. The command is superb and he should stick as a starter.
1B/3B Mike Boeve
The Brewers will have a need in the corner infield this offseason. Willy Adames is going to be leaving in free agency, which means Joey Ortiz is likely to slide over to shortstop, leaving a hole at third base. Mike Boeve was the Brewers’ second round pick in 2023, but he’s quickly moved up the system, dominating High-A and putting up big numbers in Double-A this year. It’s very possible Boeve hits his way to the big leagues sometime in 2025 and helps out this lineup.
RHP Shane Smith
Shane Smith transitioned to the starting rotation in Double-A Biloxi this year, pitching to a 3.08 ERA in 87.2 IP with 106 strikeouts and just 26 walks. Smith earned a late season promotion to Triple-A, where he had a 2.70 ERA in five outings. His stuff clearly plays at the upper levels and he could find himself with an opportunity in 2025 to prove it at the major league level.
