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.

Christian Yelich, who won the MVP three years ago, moved up from #10 to #7.
Starting Pitcher, Brandon Woodruff, who went 13-4 last year climbed to #23 from #31.
Right behind him is fellow starter, Corbin Burnes, who rocketed to #24 from #43, was the 2021 Cy Young winner and finished seventh last year. He went to the last two All-Star Games.
Closer, Josh Hader, who was traded to San Diego during the 2022 Season, inched up one position to #27.
We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.
Before Christian Yelich was an MVP, he was a star on the rise with the Miami Marlins.
Yelich was a late 2010 First Round Pick in 2010, and the Californian made his first appearance in the Majors three years later. Playing at Leftfield, Yelich became a starter with the Marlins in 2014, winning a Gold Glove with a 165-Hit, .2984 Batting Average. Yelich had another season in 2015, and in 2016, he increased his power stats to 21 Home Runs, captured a Silver Slugger while still flirting with a .300 BA (.298).
Yelich had his second straight 170 Hit year in 2017, and he secured another year where he belted over 18 Home Runs, 80 RBIs, and batted over .280. He was a star on the rise, but as what was typical with the Marlins, he was traded away, his case being Milwaukee, where he would win the MVP.
With the Marlins, Yelich had 719 Hits with a .290 Batting Average.

That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.

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 their respective League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
This is the first time that we have revised this specific list, which was first put up in 2016, and there are many changes, though none that are changing the top five.
Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories, which has altered the rankings considerably.
This list is updated up until the end of the 2019 Season.
The complete list can be found here, but as always we announce our top five in this article. They are:
1. Robin Yount
2. Paul Molitor
3. Ryan Braun
4. Cecil Cooper
We had a debut of Christian Yelich, who despite only having completed two full seasons, won two Batting Titles, two OPS Titles and an MVP. No Brewer has ever had back-to-back years like Yelich, who arrives on this list at #11. Two-time All-Star, Corey Hart was overlooked in our original list. He now appears at #25. Current Milwaukee Centerfielder, Lorenzo Cain debuts at #37. Former 2000s infielder Bill Hall, who was previously overlooked, comes in at #49.
We welcome your input and commentsand as always, we thank you for your support.
There is nobody in the history of the Milwaukee Brewers that had two seasons back-to-back like Christian Yelich. We can even argue that there is nobody even close.
