The Brewers are World Series champions, at last. But they’re certainly not looking to be a one-and-done champ.
And given their exciting young core of players, a repeat or at least another title or two over the next few years is not at all a far-fetched notion.
With that in mind, here’s a look at Milwaukee’s future in the form of six young, homegrown stars -- and that future is now:
Jacob Misiorowski, 24 years old
We’ve gotta start with the Miz. Because when he’s locked in, nobody beats him. In just two Major League seasons, the flamethrowing right-hander has captured the imagination of baseball fans everywhere with his record-breaking fastball and ability to utterly overpower opposing hitters.
Although he’s risen to elite status among starting pitchers and is poised to win this year’s National League Cy Young Award, Misiorowski is still just 24 years old -- he’s just getting started. And when “just getting started” means you already have two All-Star selections, a 2.51 ERA and 339 strikeouts over 240 2/3 innings, all the velocity records for starting pitchers and potentially a Cy Young trophy on your shelf … watch out.
And that’s not to mention more postseason experience than some pitchers who have been in the Majors for several years and a World Series ring being sized after he helped the Crew win the first championship in franchise history.
The future is bright at the top of Milwaukee’s starting rotation.
Jackson Chourio, 22 years old
How is this guy not even 23 years old yet?
He’s already the only player in MLB history to have three 20-homer/20-steal seasons before the age of 23. He already owns the franchise’s postseason home run record, with six. He has more postseason RBIs before turning 23 (20) than any player in Major League history. He also just won a Gold Glove Award for his defensive prowess in left field.
Chourio just has “it” -- that unquantifiable element that makes someone impervious to pressure, even the pressure of being at the plate against the most dominant closer in baseball with your club down to its final out in a playoff game.
That’s exactly what Chourio faced in last month’s Game 2 of the NL Division Series against the Padres. With the fearsome Mason Miller unleashing his signature heat, Chourio lined a walk-off two-run single to lift the Brewers to a 2-0 series lead.
And all he did after that was become the youngest player with four hits in a World Series game in 80 years, and then become the second player in MLB history -- along with Babe Ruth -- to have at least 10 hits over the first four games of a Fall Classic.
Chourio has the goods -- five-tool talent, ice in his veins and a tremendously impressive resume already at 22 years of age. He has proven that the Brewers’ confidence in him as indicated by the eight-year, $82 million contract they gave him three years ago was more than warranted.
Brice Turang, 26 years old
If having arguably the best starting pitcher in the game and one of the most accomplished young position players in the game on your roster weren’t enough to headline a burgeoning young core, how about adding an NL MVP finalist to the mix?
Enter Turang, who had a stellar all-around season in 2026, when he produced a .268/.366/.450 slash line with 21 home runs and 100 RBIs at the plate while play sterling defense at second base, where he just won his second career Gold Glove Award after winning the Platinum Glove for the NL in ’24.
He’s also proven his postseason mettle with Milwaukee’s just completed run, posting a 1.054 OPS between this year’s NL Championship Series against the Dodgers and the World Series against the Rays.
Cooper Pratt, 21 years old
Pratt, whom the Brewers signed to an eight-year, $50.75 million contract extension in April, had 74 games of Major League experience to his name when he entered the playoffs with the Brewers last month. He was ranked as Milwaukee's No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline (No. 63 overall) when he was called up to make his big league debut on June 16, and he held his own during his first regular season.
But it was in the playoffs that Pratt made a name for himself. Known primarily as a glove-first shortstop -- he won a Gold Glove Award in the Minor Leagues -- his bat nearly made him a World Series MVP. Over the club’s final eight postseason games en route to a World Series title, Pratt hit .419 (13-for-31) with two doubles, a huge go-ahead homer in extra innings in Game 4 of the Fall Classic -- and seven RBIs.
Not a bad way to spend your first five months or so in the big leagues. The ceiling is high and the best is likely yet to come for Pratt.
Luis Lara, turns 22 on Nov. 17
Lara didn’t see as much playing time as Pratt this postseason, but he’s a huge part of Milwaukee’s future plans in the outfield.
The Brewers’ No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline (No. 67 overall) when he made his MLB debut on July 7, Lara posted a .636 OPS in 212 regular-season plate appearances. He then went 1-for-11 in the playoffs.
As has become customary for the Brewers, Lara inked a contract extension before ever stepping foot on the diamond in a big league game, signing a seven-year, $31 million deal about a month before his call-up.
Defense has been Lara’s calling card, and he proved it right away after reaching the Majors this summer, making multiple highlight-reel catches in right field to give us a glimpse of what we could be seeing at that position for Milwaukee in the years to come.
Jesús Made, 19 years old
No look at the Brewers’ near future would be complete without mention of the No. 1 prospect in baseball.
Made has already made good in the Minors since Milwaukee signed him out of the Dominican Republic in 2024. The toolsy shortstop raked that year in the Dominican Summer League before coming stateside and continuing to impress.
In 2025, Made posted a .285/.379/.413 slash line across three levels, going from Class A to High-A to Double-A in rapid succession. In 122 games for Double-A Biloxi this past season, he produced a .774 OPS with 14 home runs and 37 steals.
A switch-hitter with great bat speed and tremendous raw power potential from both sides of the plate, Made is also an above-average runner and has the skills to stick at shortstop when he gets to the Majors.
MLB Pipeline even considers him to be a potential “franchise player” for the Crew.
