The Brewers feature a minor league system that doesn't have great depth, but at least has plenty of developed talent that is ready to breakthrough into the majors. There isn't one guy that I see as an elite or even great prospect, but there are a few guys that should contribute to the big league club this season.
Top Prospect
Taylor Jungmann - The 23 year old righty has a big frame at 6'6 210 lbs and has the makeup of a workhorse like pitcher. Jungmann doesn't have the most electric repertoire, but has shown great command in his progression through the minors. In 153 innings pitched last season, Jungmann allowed just 7 HRs while only walked 2.7 batters/9 innings. The issue with the big Texan is his paltry 5.8 K/9 against mediocre minor league batters. He still should develop into a back end of the rotation pitcher as he has a low 90s fastball and a possible above average changeup and curve.
Top Hitter
Hunter Morris - I'll be honest, Morris would probably rank outside of the top 10 batters in just about every minor league system. The Brew Crew really need to revamp their batting prospects. Nevertheless, Morris has done nothing but produce at the plate when given the opportunity. The 24 year old First Baseman will start in Triple A this season, and may get a shot at the big league club if he continues to produce while Corey Hart remains injured. He has a high career slugging percentage, and produced an ISO of .261 in double A last year. His walk rate wasn't stellar at 7%, but he's shown increased plate discipline and pitch recognition. Morris is below average in the field and has problems against left handed pitching, but I see no reason why he shouldn't rake against righties at the top level.
Bronze Medal
Tyler Thornburg - Many regard the 24 year old righty out of Charleston Southern to be the Brewers' top prospect, but i see a low ceiling for him. Thornburg pitched fairly well last year in the majors as he had a 3:1 strikeout to walk ratio in 22 innings while sporting a 4.5 ERA. His K rate should always be high, as he sits in the mid 90s with his fastball while throwing a solid changeup as well. His command isn't very consistent however, and he will always be susceptible to walking plenty of batters. His future may be in the bullpen as he continues to work on his curveball, but it looks like the Brewers want to eventually place him in the rotation.
