MLB Pipeline just released their first updated top 100 prospect rankings of the season, and several Brewers prospects have dramatically changed their stock. Let\u2019s get into the risers and fallers, headlined by baseball\u2019s new No. 1 overall prospect, Brewers prospect Jes\u00fas Made.<\/p>\n

SS Jes\u00fas Made: No. 3 \u2014> No. 1<\/p>\n

INF Luis Pe\u00f1a: No. 26 \u2014> No. 19<\/p>\n

CF Luis Lara: Unranked \u2014> No. 95<\/p>\n

With the graduation of Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin, Made is officially the No. 1 prospect in baseball. Made, a true five-tool player who throws 100-mph fastballs to first base and records exit velocities north of 110 mph<\/a>, has certainly looked capable of becoming a star.<\/p>\n

Made is the youngest player in Double-A and is currently tied for the Southern League lead in triples with three, third in hits with 36, and tied for fourth in stolen bases with 15. Despite slumping this month (.464 OPS), he\u2019s still more than deserving of the title: \u201cbest prospect in baseball.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luis Pe\u00f1a, currently in High-A, had a scorching start to the season (.372\/.462\/.512), but he hasn\u2019t played in over three weeks. Pe\u00f1a collapsed in the dugout during the eighth inning of a game on April 22, reportedly due to heatstroke. The Brewers organization announced that Pe\u00f1a was scheduled to see a neurologist last Monday, but no further updates have been provided.<\/p>\n

Lara has broken out in a big way with the Triple-A Nashville Sounds. He was never much of a power hitter before this season, totaling just eight home runs across three years in Single-A, High-A, and Double-A. Through 40 games with Nashville, he already has seven homers to go with a .338 batting average and .966 OPS \u2014 playing well enough that Brewers manager Pat Murphy is now fielding questions<\/a> about when Lara might get a shot in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

INF\/OF Jett Williams: No. 39 \u2014> No. 60<\/p>\n

SS Cooper Pratt: No. 48 \u2014> No. 66<\/p>\n

3B Andrew Fischer: No. 82 \u2014> Unranked<\/p>\n

Williams and Pratt, both in Triple-A, have struggled at the plate relative to expectations. Williams (.247\/.371\/.370) is starting to turn it on, hitting .317 with a .936 OPS over the last two weeks. Pratt (.217\/.342\/.326), who the Brewers signed to an eight-year extension last month, is not, hitting just .182 with a .603 OPS over that same span.<\/p>\n

Williams looks very close to major league ready and would probably get the call if the Brewers needed an infielder, especially given the way he\u2019s been playing lately. Pratt\u2019s defense already looks polished enough for the big leagues, but he\u2019ll likely need to hit a bit better over an extended stretch before earning a promotion.<\/p>\n

Fischer, unlike Williams and Pratt, has been hitting well this season. The Brewers\u2019 2025 first-round pick entered the year as MLB Pipeline\u2019s top third base prospect and is slashing .259\/.368\/.589 with a .957 OPS and nine home runs in his first full professional season.<\/p>\n

On the surface, there\u2019s nothing in that stat line to suggest he\u2019d fall down prospect rankings. The concern is with the underlying numbers. Fischer has struck out 48 times in 136 plate appearances, good for a 35.3% strikeout rate, while his 63.7% overall contact rate would rank among the worst in the majors \u2014 and he\u2019s not even in Double-A yet. Fischer can absolutely hit the cover off the ball, but he\u2019ll need to cut down on the strikeouts if he wants to climb back up the rankings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MLB Pipeline just released their first updated top 100 prospect rankings of the season, and several Brewers prospects…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":673414,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,324870,324871,324872,591,85],"class_list":["post-673413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-brewers-minor-league-coverage","tag-milwaukee-brewers-news","tag-milwaukee-brewers-prospects","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=673413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/673414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=673413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=673413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=673413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
