Overview
- Jesús Made moved to No. 1 on MLB Pipeline and Baseball America after Pirates rookie Konnor Griffin graduated Wednesday by passing the 130 at-bat cutoff that ends prospect status.
- Playing for Double-A Biloxi, Made carries a .257/.340/.400 line with a .740 OPS, three home runs and 15 steals in 34 games, with a rough May but solid overall numbers in a pitcher-friendly league.
- The 19-year-old switch-hitter is the youngest player at Double-A and has logged time at shortstop, second and third, while ranking near the top of the Southern League in triples, hits and steals.
- MLB Pipeline projects a 2026 major-league ETA for Made, and the coverage points to Triple-A Nashville as a likely stop before any call-up.
- Made signed out of the Dominican Republic in Milwaukee’s 2024 international class, and his ascent—following Jackson Chourio’s earlier rise to No. 1—highlights returns from the Brewers’ new Dominican academy.
