Brewers Lock Up Pratt, Building Powerhouse

On March 31st, Milwaukee Brewer's Prospect Cooper Pratt, the 21-year-old shortstop, just

locked in an eight-year contract worth $50 million, $750,000.

Sources close to the deal say it's done, though the team hasn't made it official yet.

USA Today broke the news first on them nearing terms.

Pratt stands out in one of baseball's top farm systems, ranked number 62 overall by

MLB pipeline.

He's already elite in the field, and at the plate he hit 238 with a 343 on-base mark,

eight homers, and 31 steals.

Across double A last season, he even flashed in triple A and spring training.

Brewer's farm director, Jason Murphy, raised about him, calling Pratt a true baseball player

with top aptitude, a strong work ethic, and a great attitude.

They grabbed him in the sixth round of the 2023 draft, and he's got room to grow as a

hitter.

This move echoes what Milwaukee did without filter Jackson Churrio, signing the 19-year-old

to an eight-year 82 million dollar.

Extension before he had much big league time.

Churrio hit the majors in 2024, and now cranks out 20 homers, and 20 stills every season.

The brewers keep stacking their future by buying low on stars like Pratt, building a powerhouse

from within that could dominate for years.

That wraps Milwaukee brewers news today.
