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.
41. Devin Williams
Drafted from the University of Missouri, Devin Williams had a delated start with a UCL tear and subsequent Tommy John Surgery, but he debuted for the Brewers in 2019, and was in the Futures Game.
COVID-19 ravaged the 2020 season, but Williams, who was still rookie eligible, had a phenomenal year, winning the Rookie of the Year with a 0.33 ERA over 27 Innings, and was the best set-up man in Baseball. Williams continued with another good year in 2021 (8-2, 2.50 ERA), and was an All-Star in 2022 and 2023, moving more towards a closer role with Josh Hader departing the team.
Williams, who won the TSN Pitcher of the Year in 2020 and 2023, left Milwaukee when he was traded to the New York Yankees after the 2024 Season, and departs as one of the great relievers in Milwaukee history.
