Track Record: When the Brewers signed Jackson Chourio out of Venezuela in 2021, they landed a future franchise cornerstone who made his major league debut three years later as a 20-year-old. With Made, the Brewers might have their next international star. Made signed out of the Dominican Republic for $950,000 as a 16-year-old in 2024. A switch-hitting shortstop, Made had an outstanding debut in the Dominican Summer League, where he was the league’s top prospect. Even as a DSL hitter, Made’s season was impressive enough that the Brewers named him their co-minor league player of the year with shortstop Cooper Pratt.

Scouting Report: Made checks just about every box you could ask for from a young hitter. He makes outstanding swing decisions for his age with a patient, disciplined approach to consistently put together quality at-bats. At times, Made will open early and get out on his front side, but he’s able to track pitches well and deftly maneuver the barrel throughout the strike zone, leading to good plate coverage with a low swing-and-miss rate. He makes consistent hard, high-quality contact, too, with the ability to backspin balls with exit velocities up to 109 mph, which translated to some of the best power in the DSL. Given Made’s fast bat speed and strength projection, he could have plus or better power to go with his high on-base skills. Some scouts think Made might have even more power from the right side, though with the lack of lefthanders in the DSL, Made had just 32 plate appearances batting righthanded in 2024. Made’s athleticism also stands out. He’s a plus runner who stole 28 bases in 32 attempts and also has a plus arm, which is a tool that could still tick up another grade given his age and strength projection. Made mostly played shortstop but got reps at third base and second base, as well. He’s not as polished defensively as he is at the plate, so while he has a chance to stick at shortstop, he could move around the infield or potentially fit in center field, too. He has the athleticism, range and arm strength for shortstop, but like a lot of young infielders, he’s still learning to slow the game down and set his feet properly to cut down on throwing mistakes.

The Future: Made is still several years away, but he has star potential. Chourio headlines a strong group of young players the franchise has signed out of Venezuela in recent years, but Made has the potential to be the organization’s best Dominican signing in a long time. He’s on track to likely skip the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League and jump straight to Low-A Carolina in 2025, similar to what the Brewers have done with Chourio and outfielders Luis Lara and Yophery Rodriguez in recent years.
