Brewers Prospects Fans Want to Keep

Luis Peña: High‑A Power and Speed

Luis Peña, a 19‑year‑old from the Dominican Republic, is Milwaukee’s No. 2 prospect (18th overall in MLB). He signed after the January 2024 international bonus period and is currently crushing .314/.415/.430 at High‑A Wisconsin. In 35 games this season he has launched a homer, added seven doubles, two triples, 17 RBIs, 30 runs and 21 steals. Peña earned a spot on the NL Futures squad for last week’s All‑Star festivities, joining fellow top‑tier talent.

His blend of batting average, on‑base skills and sprint speed makes him an attractive retention candidate for the Brewers. A trade‑deadline move would strip the club of a cornerstone for years to come, especially while other marquee prospects like Jesús Made remain untouchable. Peña’s recent performance underscores his growing role in Milwaukee’s rebuilding timeline.

Jett Williams: The Mets‑Draft Pick With Ups and Downs

Jett Williams, 22, was taken in the first round of the 2022 draft by New York and arrived in Milwaukee as part of the Freddy Peralta deal. He currently sits at No. 5 in Milwaukee’s system (78th overall in MLB) and has logged 80 games with Triple‑A Nashville. This year he is hitting .234/.341/.385, complementing that with nine homers, nine doubles, five triples, 41 RBIs, 60 runs and 21 steals. The fluctuating nature of his batting line has fans watching his progress closely.

Despite the inconsistent average, Williams’ walk rate and power remain assets for a team looking for middle‑inning contributors. His track record from the Mets trade adds another layer for fans weighing whether to keep him or explore a swap. The Brewers must decide if his upside justifies leaving him in the minors through another season.

Josh Adamczweski: The 15‑Round Gem Rising Quickly

Josh Adamczweski, 20, was a 15th‑round selection in 2023 and has become one of Milwaukee’s fastest‑climbing prospects. He holds No. 6 spot locally (90th overall) and is splitting time between High‑A and Double‑A this year. Adamczweski is slashing .327/.444/.553 with 12 homers, 18 doubles, two triples, 56 RBIs, 55 runs and 13 steals across 74 games. His consistent .320+ averages across three minor‑league seasons (excluding his brief 2023 stint) have drawn attention.

His robust on‑base percentage and power suggest he could transition to the next level soon. The Brewers see him as a potential middle‑relief or starter, depending on arm development. Fans leaning toward keeping him likely view him as a safe, high‑ceiling asset that could fill a roster need down the line.

Andrew Fischer: Rookie Power Hit with High Strikeout

Andrew Fischer, 21, is the only player among the group not ranked in MLB’s top 100 prospects, yet he sits at No. 7 in Milwaukee’s order. The 2025 first‑round pick is a third baseman who is slashing .286/.432/.674 with 29 homers, 14 doubles, three triples, 67 RBIs, 75 runs and nine steals in 79 games at High‑A and Double‑A. His home‑run rate is impressive, but a strikeout frequency of 118 in 276 at‑bats keeps him off higher lists.

Fischer’s raw power and maturity for a teenager make him a tempting trade piece, yet his contact issues remain a concern for front office planners. The Brewers may look to keep him as a future corner‑infielder, especially while other top names stay put. Fan sentiment seems split between his upside and the risk of a high strikeout profile.

Overall, the Brewers’ core prospects—Peña, Williams, Adamczweski and Fischer—represent a mix of speed, power and potential that many fans feel are worth preserving as the trade deadline approaches. Keeping these players aligns with the organization’s long‑term build while ensuring the club retains home‑grown talent that can contribute down the road.
