Brice Turang, Milwaukee’s 2018 21st pick, was a California prep star projected as a future shortstop. Although he switched to second base for team depth, he remains a key part of the Brew Crew's resurgence.
In 2024, Turang achieved peak individual fielding, cementing his reputation as the best defender in baseball. He dominated the middle infield, leading all MLB players with 22 Defensive Runs Saved. He became the first Brewers second baseman to win a Gold Glove and earned the NL Platinum Glove as the league's top fielder. Also a base-stealer, he reached 50 stolen bases, showing his speed is a key offensive asset.
The 2025 season saw a rookie find his rhythm, then break out with a career-high .288 average, 18 home runs, and 81 RBIs. He dominated the strike zone, peaking in August as NL Player of the Month, the first Brewer in seven years. A mainstay who played nearly every game, he helped reach the NLCS with a decisive home run against the Cubs, ending as an All-MLB Second Team pick.
Through the 2025 season, Turang has compiled 398 hits, 31 home runs, and 100 stolen bases.
