Brett Wichrowski

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Milwaukee Brewers #10 prospect in 2025
  BA Grade/Risk: 50/High.
  
  Track Record: Wichrowski split time between the rotation and bullpen as a junior at Bryant in 2023. The Brewers drafted him in the 13th round that year and signed him for $100,000. In spring training the following year, Wichrowski was one of the buzziest names on the back fields thanks to stuff that had spiked significantly since his time in college. He carried that performance over early in the season in High-A Wisconsin and drew a quick promotion to Double-A Biloxi after four starts. As the season progressed, however, he wasn’t able to maintain the same quality of stuff.
  
  Scouting Report: In college, Wichrowski pitched in the low 90s and could reach back for 96 mph. In spring training in 2024, he touched triple-digits. Early in the regular season, he was sitting at 94-97 mph and reaching 101. However, as the season wore on, his velocity was not as hot. Wichrowski mixes four-seam and two-seam fastballs in what is typically an east-west attack, though he could miss more bats if he rides his fastball up in the zone more often. To miss bats, he throws a sharp slider with lateral break that flashes above-average potential. Wichrowski’s changeup has minimal separation from his fastball, meaning it’s not a pitch he uses often. While he’s not wild, his control was below-average, especially at Double-A, where his walk rate was 11%.
  
  The Future: If Wichrowski can hold the upper-level velocity he showed at the beginning of the year while also sharpening his command, he has the potential to be a midrotation starter. If he is unable to maintain that stuff as a starting pitcher, he could find himself in a late- or multi-inning relief role out of the bullpen.
