Cooper Pratt

21-Year-Old ShortstopSS
Milwaukee Brewers AAA
2026 Fantasy Outlook
There's a case for buying low on the 21-year-old Pratt in dynasty leagues this offseason, as his surface stats at Double-A undersell his long-term potential. He slashed .238/.343/.348 with eight home runs, 31 steals, a 12.7 percent walk rate and a 15.2 percent strikeout rate in 120 games at Double-A. He was unlucky (.267 BABIP) and was the sixth-youngest qualified hitter at Double-A, so his batting average and power output will naturally trend up in the coming years. How much more power is coming is to be determined, but at 6-foot-3 and equipped with a strong hit tool, there are reasons to expect him to unlock 15-20 homer power in time. Org. mate Brice Turang's evolution at the plate is a reminder of the potential for players of this ilk to maximize their power output in their mid-20s. We know Pratt likes to run and makes plenty of contact, and he happens to be the best defensive shortstop of Milwaukee's handful of shortstop prospects. It's not a given that Pratt beats Jesus Made to the majors, but Pratt should be considered the more likely of the two to stick at the six. Read Past Outlooks

Extension official, joins 40-man roster

April 3, 2026
The Brewers announced Friday that Pratt signed an eight-year contract extension with club options for 2034 and 2035, and the team subsequently selected his contract to the major-league roster and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.
Analysis
The $50 million extension was reported early in the week, but it apparently took a few days for the two sides to hammer out all the details. Regardless, the 21-year-old Pratt has now been officially added to the 40-man roster and could be with Milwaukee for the next decade. He's received his first taste of the Triple-A level this year after posting a .242/.344/.354 slash line with eight homers and 30 steals at Double-A in 2025. Pratt will likely need to show some improvement with his bat before the Brewers give him a look in the majors, but his glove at shortstop is likely already big-league ready.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Prospect development is rarely linear, but Pratt's been on an upward trajectory since getting an over-slot $1.35 million bonus in the sixth round of the 2023 draft. Pratt is a 6-foot-4 shortstop, and he's a good enough defender that there isn't much talk of him having to move to third base anytime soon. He hit .295 with a 12.2 percent walk rate and an 18.3 percent strikeout rate while at Single-A and earned a late-season promotion to High-A. His power (five homers in 23 games) and strikeouts (25.3 K%) spiked after the promotion and poor luck (.237 BABIP) contributed to a .221 average. Given Pratt's lean, projectable frame and late-season power spike, he could break out as a power hitter this year or next. Pratt stole 27 bases on 30 attempts last year, illustrating his good instincts, as he's just an average runner. He turns 21 in August, and could be at Double-A by then.
After not getting selected on the first day of the 2023 MLB Draft, it seemed that Pratt would make it to campus at Mississippi, but the Brewers were able to persuade him to turn pro with an over-slot $1.35 million bonus after selecting him in the sixth round. The 6-foot-4, 195-pound shortstop had one of the better hit tools in the class and projects to grow into more power as he fills out. Pratt combines excellent bat-to-ball ability with a strong eye at the plate, projecting to be an above-average or plus hitter. His right-handed swing is smooth and quick, and given his frame, he could develop above-average or better power down the road. Despite his size, there's a decent chance he will stick at shortstop, at least early in his big-league career. Pratt will make his full-season debut this year after hitting .356 with four steals and a 20.4 K% in 12 games in the Arizona Complex League last summer.
