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

Former MVP Christian Yelich advanced one spot to #6.

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.

Drafted from the University of Missouri, Devin Williams had a delayed start with a UCL tear and subsequent Tommy John Surgery, but he debuted for the Brewers in 2019, and was in the Futures Game.

The first chapter of his Milwaukee tenure peaked during the 2020 season. Despite a shortened campaign, Williams had a remarkable rookie year, posting a 0.33 ERA over 27 innings. He displayed full command of his signature “Airbender”, a circle changeup with screwball-like movement, striking out over half his batters. He was a key reliever, earning NL Rookie of the Year and NL Reliever of the Year awards. He became a critical asset, proving his specialized pitch was a modern relief pinnacle.

Between 2021 and 2023, he transitioned from setup man to closer after Josh Hader's departure. In 2023, he recorded 36 saves with a 1.53 ERA, winning his second NL Reliever of the Year award. He was a consistent mainstay, earning back-to-back All-Star selections and establishing himself as an elite ninth-inning reliever. Despite a back injury early in 2024 causing frustration, he made a strong summer comeback, striking out 43.2% of hitters and saving 14 times to help the Brewers reach the postseason.

Following the 2024 season, Williams was traded to the New York Yankees in December 2024 for Nestor Cortes and prospects
