10 Brewers Prospects To Know Beyond The Top 30 in 2025
Baseball America’s Top 30 Milwaukee Brewers Prospects entering 2025 are here exclusively for subscribers. The list includes updated scouting reports, BA grades and tool grade projections every player.
Inevitably, there are players every year who barely miss the cut when we narrow down the list. These players are all worth monitoring for various reasons and it’s likely some will either reach the big leagues in 2025 or enjoy breakout seasons lower in the minors. Last year’s list, for example, included future No. 1 Brewers prospect Jesus Made.
Here are next 10 players to know in the Brewers system beyond their Top 30. You can find the complete index of players who just missed their teams’ respective lists here.
31. Juan Baez, 3B/2B. Baez has a knack for putting the ball in play, albeit without much damage yet. A stocky 5-foot-10 righthanded hitter, Baez has a lot of moving parts to his swing, but it’s an accurate barrel, though he will have to reign in his aggressive approach.
32. Isaac Collins, OF/2B/3B. After the 2022 season, the Brewers plucked Collins away from the Rockies in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft. At 27, Collins is old for a prospect, but he should carve out a role on Milwaukee’s 2025 club as a 5-foot-8 switch-hitter with good contact skills, patience, plus speed and ability to bounce between the infield and outfield.
33. Dylan O’Rae, 2B/OF. O’Rae has moved quickly—he reached Double-A as a 20-year-old in 2024—and he has shown patience and plus-plus speed, leading Milwaukee’s farm system in walks (88) and ranking second in stolen bases (62) last year. However, his power grades out at the bottom of the scale, so he will have to find a way to be more than a slap hitter.
34. Josh Adamczewski, 2B. A 15th-round pick in 2023 out of high school, Adamczewski has performed well in two years in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League, batting .336/.472/.478 in 142 plate appearances there last year. He’s a potential offensive-minded second baseman with a hit-over-power game.
35. Christopher Acosta, SS. Signed for $1.1 million out of the Dominican Republic in 2025, Acosta is a quick, instinctive defender at shortstop who projects to stick at the position. He’s a righthanded hitter whose swing can get long but he has shown good hand-eye coordination at the plate.
36. Gerlyn Payano, OF. A sleeper from the 2025 international signing class, Payano has been trending up, growing to 6-foot-1 with a blend of power and speed. It’s not a textbook lefthanded swing, but he can drive the ball with impact in games and has plus speed with good defensive instincts to have a chance to stay in center field.
37. Juan Ortuno, INF/OF. Signed out of Venezuela in 2024, Ortuno made his pro debut last year in the Dominican Summer League and hit .344/.464/.481 with more walks (29) than strikeouts (27). At 5-foot-8, Ortuno is a righthanded hitter without much power and doesn’t project to be a big home run threat, but his contact skills and plate discipline make him a quality sleeper.
38. Yorman Galindez, RHP. Galindez pitches off a fastball that sits at 92-95 mph and reaches 97 mph with good carry. He held down a 2.45 ERA in 40.1 innings with 64 strikeouts and 24 walks last year in Low-A Carolina.
39. Wande Torres, LHP. Injuries have limited Torres’ time on the mound, which is why he was in the Dominican Summer League last year as a 19-year-old, but the stuff and results were both impressive in short glimpses. Torres posted a 33-6 K-BB mark in 15.2 innings last year, pitching off a 93-97 mph fastball.
40. Wes Clarke, 1B. Clarke has some of the best raw power in the system, but there’s a rigidity to his swing that costs him adjustability and led to too much swing-and-miss last year in Triple-A Nashville, where he hit .243/.341/.458 with 131 strikeouts in 373 plate appearances as a 24-year-old.
