Biloxi Shuckers Showcase the Brewers’ Next Wave of Talent

Last week, two of the most intriguing prospects in the Brewers’ farm system were promoted from High-A Wisconsin to Double-A Biloxi: first baseman Andrew Fischer and outfielder Josh Adamczewski.

Fischer and Adamczewski join an already-loaded group of prospects for the Biloxi Shuckers, including baseball’s top prospect, Jesus Made, along with several other enticing young talents.

On top of their sustained success at the major-league level, the Milwaukee Brewers have managed to build one of baseball’s deepest farm systems. From their MLB-leading seven top-100 prospects to the emerging talents at the lower levels, Milwaukee’s minor league system is as complete as any in the sport.

The Shuckers are giving Brewers fans a glimpse of what the future could hold, featuring the organization’s next potential franchise cornerstone in Made, along with several other prospects who could become key contributors in Milwaukee sooner rather than later.

Let’s take a look which of the Brewers’ top prospects are thriving at the Double-A level.

Stats were taken prior to play on June 23.

A Seamless Transition for the Newcomers

It was only a matter of time before Andrew Fischer earned a promotion to Double-A. In 54 games with High-A Wisconsin, the third baseman slashed .298/.443/.675 with 20 home runs, 50 RBI, a 1.118 OPS, and 169 wRC+.

Fischer launched 20 homers in 54 games with the Timber Rattlers before moving up to Biloxi, including 19 over his last 39 games at the level. He wasted no time carrying that momentum into Double-A.

In his first at-bat with the Shuckers on June 17, Fischer took the third pitch he saw over the right-field wall for his first Double-A hit. He’s added two more in his two most recent games as well.

Fischer has recorded a hit in each of his first five games with Biloxi, collecting three homers, a double, and a triple while driving in four runs.

His power has been on another level. He’s really getting into his strength by pulling the ball in the air with a fly ball rate that is over 52% and a pull rate that is near 58%, and he’s shown a knack for driving in runs throughout his young professional career.

However, with that prolific power has come an abundance of swing-and-miss. Fischer has really struggled with whiff as a professional, leading to high strikeout totals.

His 62.1% contact rate at High-A was a big reason he was left off Just Baseball’s recent Top 100 Prospects update. While the power numbers were astronomical, his strikeout rate of 33.3% with the Timber Rattlers still created some concern. Even so, he managed to make up for it by hitting a home run every other game.

Fischer has already struck out five times in 16 plate appearances (31.3%), so how he handles more advanced pitching will be worth watching.

Still, it’s hard to ignore the rate at which he’s hitting homers. If he can trim the swing-and-miss without sacrificing his elite power, he could move through Milwaukee’s system rather quickly.

Fischer wasn’t the only newcomer to make an immediate impact. Josh Adamczewski also collected his first Double-A hit in his debut — a sharply hit double that nearly left the yard. He’s already racked up seven hits in his first five games with Biloxi, including two doubles.

Adamczewski is a name the Brewers are very high on throughout the organization. At just 21 years old, the strides he has made as he’s climbed the minor-league levels have been impressive.

Adamczewski tore the cover off the ball at Low-A in 2025, posting a 187 wRC+, but he really stumbled during his brief stint at High-A later that season. That setback clearly didn’t stunt his development, though, as he opened the 2026 campaign with a statement.

In 50 games with the Timber Rattlers, Adamczewski slashed .331/.464/.572 for a 1.037 OPS and 162 wRC+. He raised his isolated power to .241, nearly a career high, and he walked more often than he struck out.

Standing at 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds, Adamczewski doesn’t possess the biggest frame, but he packs a punch with a very efficient swing. He had never hit more than five home runs in a professional season before 2026, yet launched nine in his first 50 games at High-A.

After beginning his professional career as a second baseman, the Brewers have primarily deployed Adamczewski in left field this season. It remains to be seen where he’ll ultimately settle down defensively, but early indications suggest left field could be his long-term home.

Adamczewski continues to fly under the radar on many prospect lists, but another strong showing at Double-A should only raise his stock. His well-rounded offensive skill set has been on full display this season, and he’ll look to carry that momentum with the Shuckers.

The Top Prospect in MLB

With the graduation of several top prospects over the past few weeks, Jesus Made is now the No. 1 prospect in all of baseball, leading the way for an absolutely loaded Brewers farm system.

One of the youngest players in Double-A at just 19 years old, Made is slashing .289/.363/.450 with an .813 OPS and 116 wRC+ through his first 62 games.

The switch-hitting shortstop has totaled seven homers, 11 doubles, and four triples, while his 51 RBI lead the Southern League. He’s also trimmed his strikeout rate to just 15.7% and is posting a career-best contact rate of nearly 82%.

Made’s elite bat speed and barrel control have produced impressive exit velocities for a 19-year-old, and there’s reason to believe even more slug will come as he grows into his power. His .161 isolated power is his highest mark since his 2024 debut in the DSL, and he has continued to produce from both sides of the plate.

It remains to be seen how long Made will stay in Double-A. Jackson Chourio spent 122 games at the level as a 19-year-old in 2023 before finishing the season with a brief stint at Triple-A. The Brewers could take a similar approach with Made this year. If he continues to perform with Biloxi, there’s a good chance Made ends his 2026 campaign in Nashville.

Other Noteworthy Names Worth Monitoring

Blake Burke, the Brewers’ top first base prospect, has put his power on full display this season.

The 23-year-old has launched 15 homers in 63 games with Biloxi while slashing .252/.339/.517 with an .856 OPS and 121 wRC+. He has also collected 15 doubles and two triples.

Burke’s raw power from the left side has never been in question. After hitting 16 total home runs across High-A and Double-A last season, he has nearly matched that total in 2026. His exit velocities have remained impressive, and he’s continued to show an improved ability to elevate the baseball consistently.

There will be swing-and-miss in Burke’s game, and his aggressive approach has led to an uptick in chase rate. Still, he’s managed to be a productive power threat in the pitcher-friendly Southern League and has shown a lot of good thus far in 2026.

The next hurdle for Burke will be proving he can consistently handle left-handed pitching before earning a promotion to Triple-A. He’s punished right-handers to the tune of a .268/.361/.576 slash line and a .937 OPS, but against lefties, he’s batting just .182 with a .490 OPS.

Bishop Letson entered the season as one of the Brewers’ most intriguing pitching prospects, boasting legitimate Top 100 upside. While his overall numbers don’t jump off the page, the 21-year-old has started to settle into a groove.

Letson owns a 4.60 ERA through 12 starts at Double-A, but he’s shown improvements as of late. Over his last nine starts, he owns a 3.27 ERA while striking out 41 batters across 41.1 innings. He’s been even better over his last four outings, posting a 2.11 ERA while holding opponents to a .179 batting average.

Command has been Letson’s biggest challenge this season, as evidenced by his 5.36 BB/9. But for a pitcher whose 2025 season was shortened by a shoulder injury, that isn’t particularly surprising. At 47 innings pitched, Letson is quickly approaching a career high for innings in a single season, so he is still getting his feet underneath him at the professional level.

More importantly, his command and overall results have steadily improved as the season has progressed. There’s reason to believe his stock will continue to rise, and he’s an arm Brewers fans should stay tapped into.

Final Thoughts

The Brewers have seen talented prospect waves come through their system before. The most recent arrived just a few years ago, when Brice Turang, Garrett Mitchell, Sal Frelick, and Joey Wiemer all reached the major leagues within a relatively short span.

Now, another wave appears to be taking shape in Biloxi. Headlined by baseball’s No. 1 prospect in Jesus Made and surrounded by a deep group of high-upside prospects, the Shuckers have become one of the most exciting teams in Double-A. For Brewers fans itching to see the organization’s next core take shape, look no further than Biloxi.
