Brewers Top 10 Prospects For 2026
Plus: Five AFL prospects of note from the circuit's regular season finale, and the Royals acquire RHP Mason Black.
Joshua Kuroda-Grauer, SS, Athletics: Because of changes to its playoff schedule, the Arizona Fall League's regular season was cut short by a couple of days and instead concluded on Tuesday with a final slate of three seven-inning games. Kuroda-Grauer led off in Mesa'a finale, against Peoria, and closed the regular year on a high note. Batting in the leadoff spot, the Rutgers alum rapped out two hits, including a double, in the Solar Sox's win over Peoria. For the fall, Kuroda-Grauer went 20-for-58 (.345) with six doubles and a triple. The two-hit effort was his fifth AFL game with multiple hits.
Jonny Farmelo, OF, Mariners: On the last day of the AFL regular season, Farmelo made his mark. The blast came in the third inning against Mesa righthander Nathan Dettmer (Athletics) during the Javelinas' loss to Mesa. The longball left the bat at 105.5 mph and traveled an estimated 397 feet, but it wasn't Farmelo's hardest-struck ball of the day. He also crushed a 107 mph groundout in the game's first inning. He finishes the AFL 18-for-77 (.234) with a pair of home runs and 20 walks against 28 strikeouts.
Dylan Campbell, OF, Phillies: Campbell put together a doozy of a finisher. The former Dodgers farmhand went 3-for-3 with a triple and his fourth AFL home run in Surprise's loss at Salt River. The triple was Campbell's first of the AFL. Campbell's longball left the bat at 102.9 mph and traveled an estimated 398 feet. His triple was hit even harder, registering an exit velocity of 107.0 mph. He reached a sprint speed of 28.6 feet per second on his race around the bases.
Raudi Rodriguez, OF, Angels: Rodriguez has done more to raise his prospect stock than nearly anyone in the Arizona Fall League. On the final day of the regular season, he made one final argument to cement his case as the circuit's breakout star. Facing Surprise, Rodriguez went 2-for-5 with a triple, a run and his fifth stolen base of the fall. Both of Rodriguez's hits left the bat hotter than 100 mph, including a 107.8 mph bolt for his triple. He reached a top speed of 28.7 feet per second. For the AFL, Rodriguez went 26-for-60 with a homer and 10 RBIs.
Mason Black, RHP, Royals: The Giants designated Black for assignment on Nov. 6. On Tuesday, they dealt him to Kansas City in exchange for righthander Logan Martin, who just completed his season with the Surprise Saguaros in the Arizona Fall League. Black ranked among the Giants' Top 10 prospects in each of the last three seasons and made his big league debut on May 6, 2024 and made 10 appearances (including eight starts) over the last two seasons. Martin never cracked the Royals' Top 30. He went 8-4, 3.45 in in 2025 at High-A Quad Cities.
Braden Montgomery, OF, White Sox: Montgomery's Arizona Fall League was delayed a bit by a lingering injury, but he made plenty of noise in a condensed campaign. He put a bow on his time in the desert on Tuesday by going 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI. One of his two-baggers—in the fifth inning against Giants prospect Jose T. Perez—was stung particularly hard. Montgomery redirected a 93 mph fastball from Perez hard enough to produce an exit velocity of 109.8 mph—the hardest-hit ball in a game chock full of offense—for his second double of the night. Montgomery finishes the AFL regular year 15-for-41 (.366) with six doubles, a home run and more walks (13) than strikeouts (12).
