Dinges and Hardin named Minor League Player & Pitcher of the Month, five Brewers named to Baseball America’s updated prospect rankings

A couple updates out of Milwaukee’s farm system:

First of all, Milwaukee announced their Player and Pitcher of the Month this morning.

  • Catching prospect Marco Dinges (rhymes with hinges) slashed .400/.523/.620 (20-for-50) with eight extra-base hits and 17 RBIs in 15 games with Single-A Carolina. Dinges, a fourth-round pick out of Florida State in 2024, is now slashing .324/.435/.471 in his professional career.
  • Pitcher Tyson Hardin, 23, went 2-0 with a 0.96 ERA (0.96 WHIP, .212 opponent batting average) in four starts for High-A Wisconsin this April. Hardin, a 2024 12th-round pick out of Mississippi State, leads the Midwest League in ERA for the season (0.70).

Secondly, five Brewers prospects were named to Baseball America’s first midseason prospect rankings.

  • Jesús Made is now all the way up to No. 6 overall (in between Jackson Jobe and Leodalis De Vries) after beginning the season at No. 17. Made has had a torrid start to the season, drawing comparisons to Jackson Chourio due to his impressive production at just 17 years old. He’s slashing .295/.404/.455 with three home runs through 88 at-bats with Single-A Carolina.
  • Cooper Pratt is ranked at No. 28 after beginning the year at No. 50. Pratt (.271/.350/.411) has posted almost identical numbers to last year (.277/.362/.406) despite facing better competition with Double-A Biloxi.
  • Jacob Misiorowski sits at No. 35 (previously No. 44) after an impressive start. Control has historically been an issue for Misiorowski, but he now sports a career low BB/9 (4.29) through seven appearances this season. If he keeps this up, he should get called up sometime before September.
  • Jeferson Quero drops down to No. 66 after beginning the year at No. 43. Quero has yet to make his season debut — he’s still rehabbing a season ending labrum tear suffered on Opening Day 2024
  • Infield prospect Luis Peña makes his first appearance on the list, at No. 79. The 18-year-old Peña has been putting up MLB The Show numbers so far this season (.353/.430/.500, 18 stolen bases in 16 games). He’s drawn comparisons to both Made and Chourio. For those of you unfamiliar with Peña, here’s how he celebrated becoming a Top 100 prospect:
