Multiple Milwaukee Brewers Selected to All-Stars Futures Game Roster
Earlier on Monday, we learned the first six prospects that would be featured in the All-Stars Futures Game during All-Star Weekend, but later on Monday, we got the full roster of prospects who will be going to Seattle.
The roster includes three Milwaukee Brewers prospects including top prospect Jackson Chourio. Joining him will be catcher Jefferson Quero and pitcher Jacob Misiorowski.
The full roster is below:
Chourio, an outfielder, is the No. 3 prospect in the game. He's currently playing in Double-A.
This comes from a segment of his MLB.com prospect profile:
Chourio brings multiple at least plus tools to the table. His 70-grade speed is perhaps the loudest, and it was a big reason why Milwaukee moved him to center field, where he could cover even more ground than shortstop. What’s more, his contact at the plate is loud and capable of playing everywhere in the park. Brewers officials were often awestruck at how the right-handed slugger thumped the ball to right almost as easily as he did to left.
Quero, 20, is a catcher who is also currently at Double-A.
Quero’s defensive work has popped since he first signed. He moves well behind the plate, earning strong reviews for his blocking and receiving, and Milwaukee officials have long been impressed with how well he works with pitchers at such a young age. He’s always shown plus arm strength too, and that truly popped last year in the Fall League, when he caught 11 of 24 (45.8 percent) attempted base stealers. His 30.6 percent CS rate during the regular season may be a more realistic expectation over a larger sample, but still shows just how good he can be at limiting the opponents' run game.
Offensively, the right-handed slugger shows good pitch recognition...
Misiorowski, 21, is a little further away. He currently pitches at High-A and was drafted in 2022 out of the junior college ranks.
As may be expected for someone this raw with such long limbs, Misiorowski can struggle with control, and that was certainly the case during a quick dip into the Minors when he walked seven of his 14 batters faced with Single-A Carolina. There’s enough premium stuff to work with here that Misiorowski could give the Brewers' system the star pitching prospect it so desperately needs.
The Futures Game will be played in Seattle on July 8 at 7 p.m. ET.
