Key quotes
· 4 pulledThe left side of the Brewers infield has struggled mightily at the plate so far in 2026.
Milwaukee has a slick-fielding shortstop in Triple-A whom they've already promised $50 million, so it's time for Cooper Pratt to man the dirt at Miller Park.
While the projected plus game power wasn't present yet, he hit the ball about as hard as the average major-leaguer while spending most of the season at age-19.
That, paired with a very solid contact rate, jumped Pratt up into the top three of a very good Milwaukee system, and marked him as the 63rd-best prospect in baseball.
