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.

The Brewers are coming off another year where they made the post-season, and they are loaded with young talent, two of which make their debuts on this list.
As always, we present the top five, which remain unchanged from last year.
1. Robin Yount
2. Paul Molitor
3. Ryan Braun
4. Cecil Cooper
You can find the entire list here.
Christian Yelich, who is a former MVP for the team, inched up one spot to #10.
Pitcher, Brandon Woodruff, debuts at #31, and his teammate, and current Cy Young winner, Corbin Burnes comes in at #43.
The alterations remove Kevin Seitzer and Bill Hall from the list.
We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.
In any other era, the current career stats of Brandon Woodruff don’t look like they belong on a top 50 list of any team, but there is no doubt that Woodruff earns his spot here in the modern era.
As of this writing, Woodruff is entering his seventh year in the Majors, all of which have been as a Brewer. Woodruff debuted in 2017, but broke out in 2019, becoming a permanent starter and an All-Star, going 11-3 with a 3.62 ERA. Over the two years after, Woodruff might have had a losing record (12-15), but he has been dynamic, finishing in the top five in WHIP, the top ten in ERA and SP/BB in both years, and led the NL in cPWA in 2021.
An All-Star in 2021, Woodruff did not make the mid-season classic in 2022, but had a much better record (13-4) with 190 Strikeouts. 2023 was promising, but injuries held him to only 11 Starts, though he went 5-1 with a 2.28 ERA. This looks to be it for Woodruff as a Brewer, as he was non-tendered by the team.
