Do not be fooled by their MLB-best win total. These Milwaukee Brewers, while excellent, are one of the scrappiest teams in recent memory. They constantly fight back after getting punched in the mouth or gut. Their undying perseverance was evident when they avenged a National League Championship Series sweep by the Los Angeles Dodgers, and throughout the 2026 World Series. Just look at Game 4. David Hamilton redeemed a costly error with a big home run in the fifth inning. But there may not be a player who better embodies the Brew Crew's determination than Cooper Pratt.
The rookie shortstop was benched for not hustling in an August game versus the New York Mets, and he committed multiple errors in the postseason, leaving some fans to question if he was ready for the moment. Pratt continues to silence those doubts, and he did so quite emphatically on Tuesday night. The 22-year-old notched four hits in Tampa, including a go-ahead 396-foot homer in the 12th inning.
