Our All Time Top 50 Milwaukee Brewers have been revised to reflect the 2024 Season
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
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.

Our Top 50 All-Time Milwaukee Brewers are now up
With the 2017 Major League Baseball Season underway, we are pleased to present our next top 50, which features the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Blue Brew Crew has only made the playoffs four times, with only one trip to the Fall Classic, a losing effort in 1982. Still this is a team who has produced Hall of Famers and has a healthy fan base that should see this team remain in the state of Wisconsin.
The entire list can be found here, but let’s reveal the top five right away!
1. Robin Yount
2. Paul Molitor
3. Ryan Braun
4. Cecil Cooper
5. Teddy Higuera
There will be more coming, but of course we would love to hear your input on our latest creation!
6. Teddy Higuera
Teddy Higuera arrived in Milwaukee in 1985 as a skilled left-hander from Mexico with a deceptive delivery and high-velocity pitches, quickly overwhelming American League lineups. His major league career was cut short by injuries, but he delivered a brilliant pitching run, one of the franchise's best.
Higuera wasted no time providing quality starts for the Brewers, finishing as the runner-up for the 1985 Rookie of the Year. Higuera demonstrated a high frequency of keeping hitters off-balance, recording 15 wins and a 3.90 ERA. He showed the organization he was a premier talent by following that debut with an even more impressive 1986 campaign, in which he earned an All-Star selection and became the first Mexican pitcher in history to record a 20-win season.
In 1986 and 1987, he was arguably the most efficient pitcher in the American League. In 1986, he led all AL pitchers in bWAR (9.4) and narrowly lost out on the Cy Young Award to Roger Clemens. He remained a professional mainstay in 1987, winning 18 games and recording 240 strikeouts, a figure that set a new franchise record at the time.
His 1988 season marked a peak as he led the American League with a 0.999 WHIP and posted elite numbers, striking out 192 batters with a 3.13 ERA. Despite heavy early workload, injuries from shoulder and back issues limited his availability. He endured multiple surgeries, battling back to the mound but couldn't recapture his initial dominance.
He was forced to retire after the 1994 season. He had a career 94-64 record and 1,061 strikeouts. He proved that true greatness is found in the quality of the peak, a journey that earned him a spot on the Brewers Wall of Honor.
