Why are the Milwaukee Brewers also leading in scouting and development?

A deeper look to the Brewers' successful development model for young players

This August, the Milwaukee Brewers shocked the baseball world with a 15-game winning streak, setting a new franchise record. On September 22, they clinched a postseason berth for the 7th time in the last 8 seasons.

What makes this run even more remarkable isn’t just the clean, fundamentally sound baseball they’re playing every night. It’s the fact that they’re doing it while ranking just 23rd in Major League Baseball in 40-man roster payroll, sitting at $114.5 million as of August 20.

But what fans see on the field each night is only the surface of a deeper story, one unfolding across every level of the organization. The Brewers have been quietly assembling a system where every piece fits into a long-term vision, and that vision is beginning to take shape in impressive fashion.
