"The Brewers and prospect Cooper Pratt are reportedly on the verge of finalizing an eight-year contract worth $50.75MM. There will also be two club options worth about $15MM per year, though the value of those options can increase via escalators."
"Pratt is 21 years old and hasn't made it to the majors yet. He only just made his Triple-A debut a few days ago. He wasn't even going to be eligible for the Rule 5 draft until December of 2027."
"Though his offense was middling last year, the plate discipline was clearly good. His 12.7% walk rate and 15.2% strikeout rate were both strong."
Cooper Pratt signed an eight-year contract extension with the Brewers worth $50.75 million, including two club options. At 21, he has not yet played in the majors and recently debuted in Triple-A. This extension is notable as it is uncommon for players without major league experience. While extensions for prospects are becoming more frequent, Pratt's situation is more extreme compared to others. His performance at Double-A was average, but he showed good plate discipline, which may indicate the Brewers' confidence in his future potential.
