As we head into the final week of the first month of the minor league season, the Milwaukee Brewers are impressively dominating across the minor leagues.
The Brewers’ Low-A Carolina Mudcats club’s 12-3 record is tied for the best record in the minors and every Brewers’ MiLB team has a winning record. Milwaukee’s +121 run differential in the minor leagues is also best in the minors.
This isn’t a surprising development for the Brewers. Milwaukee ranked second in our preseason farm system rankings. Who ranks right behind them is probably more notable.
The Kansas City Royals rank second in winning percentage (52-35, .598) and second in run differential (+115). That’s a dramatic improvement from last year, where the 66-65 Columbia Fireflies were the only full-season club in the Royals’ farm system to have a winning record. As a team, the Royals were 335-375 in the minors with a -401 run differential last year. Kansas City has not finished with a winning record across the minors since 2021.
The Minnesota Twins have the worst MiLB winning percentage currently, with a 31-53 record (.369). The A’s -120 run differential is worst among all 30 organizations.
Here is the complete list of current MiLB organization standings.
