Jett Williams' Speed Makes him a Prospect to Monitor
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop prospect Jett Williams is producing a fine month of July for Triple-A Nashville and is making a case for promotion to the big-league club. In 22 July at-bats, Williams is hitting .364 with four stolen bases. The talented right-handed hitter is graded out at 65 for his running skill and has 21 steals on the season in Nashville. Williams was a first-round pick by the New York Mets and was sent over to Milwaukee in the Freddy Peralta trade. The 22-year-old's strengths are his defense and his base running ability, but he can contribute at the plate for fantasy managers. In 304 at-bats this season, Williams has nine home runs and 41 RBI to go with 60 runs scored for Nashville. Williams should be watched as a potential contributor in the steals and runs scored categories who can also add occasional power and pure hitting.

Jett Williams Dealing With Minor Wrist Injury
Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jett Williams (wrist) is dealing with a minor wrist injury, which has prevented him from being called up to the big leagues just before the All-Star break, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Curt Hogg. The Brewers could use some infield depth to close out the first half after they placed David Hamilton (hamstring) on the injured list on Tuesday. Instead of Williams, the Brew Crew opted to bring up outfield prospect Luis Lara. In 80 games and 358 plate appearances at Triple-A Nashville in 2026, Williams has hit .234/.341/.385 with a .726 OPS, nine home runs, 41 RBI, 21 stolen bases, and 60 runs scored for the Sounds. The 22-year-old got off to a slow start to the year at the plate, but he has picked things up offensively and is pushing hard for his first taste of the big leagues with the Brewers. Williams, who stands at 5-foot-7 and 179 pounds, is the club's No. 5 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and we should see him in the majors at some point in the second half, although it's unclear if he'll play enough to be a fantasy asset in single-year leagues.

Trey Ebel Goes to the Brewers at the End of the First Round
The Milwaukee Brewers selected Corona High School (California) shortstop Trey Ebel with the 25th overall pick in the 2026 MLB draft on Saturday, according to MLB.com. Ebel was a surprise first-round selection (even at the end of the round) after coming into this year's draft as the No. 107-ranked overall prospect by MLB.com. He's only 17 years old and stands at 6-foot, 180 pounds. He'll join his brother in the Brewers' system after Milwaukee drafted Brady Ebel with the 32nd overall selection last year. He's the son of Los Angeles Dodgers third base coach Dino Ebel. The right-handed-hitting infielder can handle fastballs and breaking pitches alike and has the ability athletically to stick at shortstop long term. Ebel has excellent plate discipline for his age and generates plenty of bat speed despite his lack of size. Like most prepsters, Ebel is a hit-over-power prospect, but there is room for growth power-wise as he matures in the minor leagues. He's considered a better pure shortstop prospect than his older brother Brady. Some scouts believe that if he doesn't stick at the 6, he'll be a natural candidate to move to the hot corner, especially if he begins to tap into more raw power at the plate.

Jesus Made Cools Off, Chances of MLB Debut in 2026 Fading?
Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jesus Made had been red-hot at Double-A Biloxi coming into July, but he has cooled considerably, going 2-for-24 (.083) in six games this month. The good news is that despite not tallying a bunch of base hits in July, he's still putting the bat on the ball, recording just three strikeouts in 27 plate appearances (11.1 percent). Even with the slowdown, the MLB's top-ranked prospect is slashing .274/.345/.431 with eight home runs and 24 steals in 74 games with the Shuckers, and his 14.6 percent strikeout rate puts him in the 92nd percentile at Double-A. The 19-year-old is doing all of this as one of only a handful of players under the age of 20 at that level of the minors. If he can get hot again, there's a chance he could see some time at Triple-A later this year, and at that point the switch-hitter will be knocking on the door to the majors. Given his age, a 2026 debut may be a stretch, but with his talent, fantasy managers should keep the 6-foot-1 Dominican on their radar, and at the very least, be prepared to see him in the big leagues at some point in 2027.

Cooper Pratt Bringing Cheap Speed to Waiver Wires?
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Cooper Pratt is still finding his way with the bat, and the reason to care in fantasy is simple: stolen bases. The 21-year-old, MLB Pipeline's No. 63 overall prospect when he came up on June 16, is hitting .217/.342/.283 with no homers, four RBI, nine runs, and six steals through 60 at-bats. He did flash more than speed Tuesday, July 7, going 2-for-4 with a triple, two runs, and a two-run double in the second game of Milwaukee's doubleheader sweep of St. Louis. Before the promotion, Pratt posted a .241/.349/.386 line with six homers and 17 steals in 220 Triple-A at-bats. The power has not really shown up yet, and a 6.4% barrel rate keeps that part of the profile in wait-and-see mode. The walks and speed are more useful right now. At 3% rostered on Yahoo, Pratt fits as a 15-team speed add, not a standard-league priority.

Jett Williams Extends Hit Streak to Nine Games, Back on Stash Radar?
Milwaukee Brewers infield/outfield prospect Jett Williams collected three hits in his latest contest, extending his current hit streak at Triple-A Nashville to nine games, during which time he's gone 13-for-34 (.382) with six steals and a 6:6 BB:K. The Brewers' fifth-ranked prospect is hitting just .236 on the year, but this recent success and improved strikeout rate over the last nine games could give the team the confidence it needs to give the former first-rounder his first taste of the majors soon. The 22-year-old has nine home runs thus far, along with 21 steals through 79 games, so there are some appealing fantasy attributes here, as he's also coming off a 17-homer, 34-steal campaign in 2025. Adding to his fantasy appeal is the fact that he is eligible at 2B, SS, and OF in Yahoo! leagues. For now, though, he's really only worth stashing in the deepest of leagues.

Jett Williams Will Need to Raise Level to Earn Stash Spot on Fantasy Teams
Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jett Williams was shipped to the NL Central this winter as the headliner piece in the Freddy Peralta trade. Williams is a big-time talent who is hitting .225 this season at Triple-A Nashville with nine homers and 41 RBI. He has shown off the speed with 19 steals and looks to be a plus contributor in the steals department for fantasy managers. The shortstop position is a bit crowded for the Brewers with Cooper Pratt playing at the big-league level and Jesus Made manning the position as one of the top Double-A prospects. But Williams offers solid speed, with a season-high 45 steals across three levels of the minors in 2023. Fantasy managers will look for him to raise his batting average at Triple-A before taking a chance on him. He has the upside to make him worth a stash, but that would have to be in deep leagues as he battles stiff competition on his own team for a big-league spot.

Could Jesus Made Earn an MLB Debut in 2026?
Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jesus Made continues to show off the skillset that has made him MLB's top-ranked prospect. The switch-hitter recorded a three-hit game over the weekend and has two steals in his last four contests, bringing his season-long slash line to .281/.355/.441 with seven home runs and 23 steals while competing as one of the youngest players at Double-A. The 6-foot-1 Dominican is also walking at a 10.2 percent rate with a low 15.1 percent strikeout rate, showing he's not overmatched at that level. A test at Triple-A could happen in the second half, and his elite talent could help him earn a late-season debut in the majors despite his age. With above average hit, power, and run tools, fantasy managers would be wise to keep the 19-year-old on their radar in the event of an eventual call-up.

Cooper Pratt a Must-Add Waiver-Wire Target Following MLB Debut?
Since being called up for his MLB debut on June 16, Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Cooper Pratt is hitting .211/.295/.237 with zero home runs, two RBI, four runs scored, and five stolen bases across 44 plate appearances. The 21-year-old does not profile as much of a power threat, as he's logged a 3.4% barrel rate in the majors after posting a 3.7% barrel rate across 261 plate appearances at Triple-A before his promotion. However, Pratt is known as an elite defensive prospect at shortstop, which should help extend his runway as the Brewers' everyday shortstop. Pratt has demonstrated an ability to get on base, logging a 13% walk rate at Triple-A and an 11.4% walk rate in his small sample of big league plate appearances so far. As long as that holds, Pratt should be able to continue to provide value on the basepaths. Fantasy managers should temper their overall expectations for Pratt, but he could be a viable source of speed to target on the waiver wire.

Jett Williams Offers Multi-Category Potential, but is He Worth Stashing Amid Slump?
Milwaukee Brewers infield/outfield prospect Jett Williams continues to scuffle at Triple-A, but has provided glimpses of what's possible over the last three games. The Brewers' third-ranked prospect has shown some power after cracking a double in Wednesday's contest, he's stolen three bases, scored five runs, and posted a 3:5 BB:K over that three-game span. He even had a two-homer game as recently as June 16. Unfortunately, he's hitting just .163 in 26 games since May 22 with an elevated 25.6 percent strikeout rate, so he'll need to turn it around if the team is going to consider him for a call-up to the majors. The former first-rounder hit 17 home runs and stole 34 bases a season ago, so there is a lot to like about his fantasy potential, and his positional versatility should offer multiple paths to playing time, but fantasy managers will likely have to wait until sometime in the second half before the 22-year-old makes his big league debut. As such, the right-handed hitter doesn't warrant stash consideration in most leagues at the moment.

Can Jesus Made Reach the Major Leagues in the Second Half?
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop prospect Jesus Made is considered the No. 1-ranked prospect in all of baseball on MLB.com and has put together a strong start to the Double-A regular season. With the Biloxi Shuckers, Made has held a solid .287/.360/.449 line with a .809 OPS. The 19-year-old has not looked overmatched in the upper minor leagues, hitting 12 doubles, seven home runs, swiping 21 bags, and holding a 44:29 K:BB. Last summer, the top-ranked prospect in the game split his time across the lower levels before earning a brief taste of Double-A action late in the campaign. While Made is flashing elite upside, managers in the draft league should not view him as a top stash candidate yet. He will need to not only reach Triple-A but also show enough progress to join the Brewers in the second half. With Cooper Pratt recently earning the call, and Jett Williams ahead of him in the pecking order, the 19-year-old future superstar is best left on the waiver wire in all standard leagues for the time being.

Cooper Pratt Emerging as Stolen Base Waiver-Wire Target After Strong MLB Start
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Cooper Pratt has already swiped four bags through his first eight MLB games, providing value across multiple fantasy formats. The 21-year-old has collected seven hits in eight games and continues to find ways to reach base with his 28.6 mph sprint speed. Pratt, the No. 4-ranked prospect in the Brewers system, is expected to receive plenty of opportunities with his dynamic skill set. His speed has immediately stood out, and he has shown the ability to impact the game in multiple ways, hitting .304 in 23 at bats. Pratt is a name worth monitoring as he continues to display his stolen base upside for a surging Brewers team.

Will Jett Williams Reach the Major Leagues in 2026?
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop prospect Jett Williams is on the list of a talented group of prospects who make their home at the position up the middle. Cooper Pratt is a recent call-up at the position, and Jesus Made is one of the most talented names in the minors at the position. But don't count out Williams, who is hitting .217 with nine homers, 37 RBI, and 15 stolen bases at Triple-A Nashville. The numbers aren't necessarily overwhelming, but Williams is a first-round pick of the New York Mets before arriving in Milwaukee's system in the Freddy Peralta trade this past winter. Williams is part of a loaded Brewers infield and will have to increase his production in order to garner a call-up to the big league level. He has the pedigree to predict future fantasy success, but it will be an uphill battle to contribute to the Brewers this year or in the near future. Given his lack of a clear path to MLB at-bats and following Pratt's promotion, Williams is best left as a deep-league stash target in 12+ team leagues with multiple N/A spots.

Jesus Made Suffers Quad Injury, MLB Debut in 2026 in Jeopardy?
Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jesus Made (quad) left Wednesday's game for Double-A Biloxi after a collision that occurred with the left fielder, both of whom were tracking a fly ball. Made stayed in the game for the rest of the inning but did not return to the field in the following inning. MLB's No. 1 prospect suffered what is being described as a left quad contusion, but the fact that he stayed in the game could mean the injury is minor and he may not need a trip to the injured list. The switch-hitter is slashing .276/.349/.427 with six home runs, 21 steals, and a 27:43 BB:K in 59 games for the Shuckers this season. If he were to miss time, it would delay his inevitable promotion to Triple-A and throw cold water on the possibility of a 2026 MLB debut, so managers should continue to monitor his progress. Should he make it to Triple-A, the 19-year-old would quickly become a top player to stash for fantasy with his ability to be a five-category contributor.

Jett Williams Homers Twice, Back on the Stash Radar?
Milwaukee Brewers infield/outfield prospect Jett Williams went deep twice on Tuesday for Triple-A Nashville, a sign that perhaps he's about to go on a bit of a hot streak. The Brewers' third-ranked prospect had his batting average up to .256 on May 20, but has seen it dip all the way to .227 even after Tuesday's contest. The former first-rounder can do a bit of everything, now with eight home runs on the season along with 13 steals and a solid 13.1 percent walk rate (21.2 percent strikeout rate). Not only that, he can play all over the infield and center field, giving him multiple paths to the majors and eligibility at 2B, SS, and OF in Yahoo! leagues. The versatile 22-year-old could be up in the big leagues by the All-Star break, and with the ability to be a multi-category contributor, he should be considered a stash candidate in deeper leagues.
