Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Milwaukee Brewers.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.

Last year, the Brewers won the National League Central, but were bounced by the New York Mets in three games in the Wild Card round.  There were two new entrants and a few notable player movements.

As always, we present our top five, which had no changes.

1. Robin Yount

2. Paul Molitor

3. Ryan Braun

4. Cecil Cooper

5. Teddy Higuera

You can find the entire list here. 

Former MVP Christian Yelich advanced one spot to #6.

Pitcher Brandon Woodruff held at #20.

Infielder Willy Adames and Pitcher Devin Williams enter at #40 and #41 respectively. 

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

Brandon Woodruff debuted in Milwaukee in 2017, a power-pitching right-hander whose journey from a mid-round draft pick to a foundational anchor is a testament to the Brewers' development system. Known for a high-octane fastball and a physical presence on the mound, he evolved into one of the most efficient starters in the National League.

After flashes of dominance in the 2018 postseason, including a historic home run off Clayton Kershaw, Woodruff reached his peak in 2019. He went 11-3 with a 3.62 ERA, made his first All-Star team, and became a key player for Milwaukee. 

The 2021 and 2022 seasons represented Woodruff’s most outstanding performances to date. In 2021, he achieved a peak efficiency, concluding the season with a 2.56 ERA and 211 strikeouts, leading the National League in cPWA and ranking within the top five for WHIP. Although a lack of run support often resulted in a deceptive win-loss record, he remained a dominant figure on the mound, earning his second All-Star selection. This was followed by an exemplary high-leverage campaign in 2022, during which he recorded a 13-4 record with 190 strikeouts.

After a promising start to 2023, where he went 5-1 with a 2.28 ERA, a shoulder injury limited him to just 11 starts and eventually required surgery that finalized his entire 2024 campaign. His residency reached a momentary punctuation when he was non-tendered for salary reasons, but he quickly returned to the organization on a new multi-year deal.  He returned to the mound in July to author a 3.20 ERA over 12 starts.

Woodruff enters 2026 fully healthy and as the first pitcher in franchise history to earn over $20 million in a single season.  Thus far, Woodruff compiled a 53–28 record, a 3.13 ERA, and 871 strikeouts.
