The newest edition of the Baseball America Top 100 prospect rankings dropped on Wednesday, with the publication having high praise for Milwaukee Brewers prospect Jesus Made.

The 17-year-old is ranked as the No. 6 prospect in the sport, but BA says he has the chance to end up as the No. 1 overall eventually.

After running roughshod over the Dominican Summer League in 2024, Made jumped straight to Low-A as a 17-year-old and burst out of the gates with a set of tools rarely seen on a player so young. There’s little Made can’t do on a baseball diamond, and he’s a prime contender to be the No. 1 prospect in the sport once the more veteran players at the top take their final bows.

Made is hitting .294 right now for Low-A Carolina, popping three homers and bringing in 15 entering play on Wednesday. He also has nine stolen bases and a .400 on-base percentage, showing a diverse and well-rounded skillset.

He's still several years away from the big leagues, but he'll look to be another success from a historically-solid Brewers player development system that has helped cultivate Jackson Chourio, Brice Turang and Sal Frelick.

On the major league side of things, the Brewers are 19-18. They'll finish out a series on Wednesday with the Houston Astros before being off on Thursday.

They'll be back in action on Friday when they start a new series over the weekend with the Tampa Bay Rays at George M. Steinbrenner Field.
