Milwaukee Brewers postseason roster
The Brewers finished the 2025 regular season with the best record in baseball — 97-65 — and then did what Milwaukee always does in October: made everybody learn a bunch of new names. This isn’t a roster of nine-figure free agents. It’s homegrown pitching, speed, defense, and a manager who looks more like your high school baseball coach than an MLB skipper.
That’s exactly why the body stats are fun here. You’ve got a 6-foot-7 rookie flamethrower, a 6-foot-8 closer, a 5-foot-6 infielder, and a 5-foot-9 outfielder who plays center field like a free safety. The Brewers’ playoff club might be the widest size range of any team in the sport.
Here’s a rundown of the key names on Milwaukee’s postseason roster, with heights, weights, and why each one matters.
1. Pat Murphy
Murphy was born January 2, 1959, which made him 66 during the 2025 playoff run. He spent decades building Arizona State into a college powerhouse and coached at Notre Dame before that, then worked years as a bench coach under Craig Counsell in Milwaukee.
He took the manager’s job in 2024 and won NL Manager of the Year in his first season. Then he won 97 games in 2025 with a payroll near the bottom of the league. Murphy’s known for blunt, funny press conferences and for running his bullpen like a chess match.
2. Sal Frelick

Frelick is listed at 5 feet 9 inches and around 175 lbs — small by big-league standards, and a former three-sport athlete out of Lexington, Massachusetts who was also recruited for hockey and football. He played at Boston College and went 15th overall in the 2021 draft.
He won a Gold Glove in right field in 2024 and has since bounced between all three outfield spots. Low strikeout rate, elite contact, and he’s a nightmare on the bases. Casual fans see the frame and underestimate him; pitchers don’t.
3. Christian Yelich

The 2018 NL MVP stands 6 feet 3 inches and is listed around 195-200 lbs. Long levers, famously flat swing plane. He’s the longest-tenured Brewer and the emotional center of the clubhouse.
Yelich had back surgery in August 2024 and missed the rest of that season. He came back in 2025 and played a full year as the regular DH and corner outfielder, rebuilding his power after two injury-wrecked seasons.
4. Jackson Chourio

Chourio is about 6 feet 1 inch and close to 200 lbs now, having filled out significantly since signing out of Venezuela. Milwaukee gave him an eight-year, $82 million extension in December 2023 — before he’d played a single big-league game.
He went 21 homers and 22 steals as a 20-year-old rookie in 2024. Hamstring trouble slowed him in 2025, but when healthy he’s the most explosive athlete on the roster.
5. William Contreras

Listed at 5 feet 11 inches and about 180 lbs, Contreras is built low and thick — ideal catcher proportions. He’s the younger brother of Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras.
An All-Star and Silver Slugger winner in 2024, he catches more innings than almost anyone in baseball and still hits in the middle of the order. He played through a fractured finger during 2025.
6. Jacob Misiorowski

At 6 feet 7 inches and around 190-200 lbs, “Miz” is all limbs. He debuted June 12, 2025, sat 99-101 mph with the fastball, and touched 103. He made the NL All-Star team after just five career starts.
That frame creates a release point hitters basically never see. The extension on his fastball makes 100 play like 103.
7. Trevor Megill
Megill is 6 feet 8 inches and listed around 230 lbs — one of the tallest pitchers in the majors. He took over the closer role after Devin Williams was traded and made his first All-Star team in 2025.
Mid-to-upper-90s fastball, a hard knuckle-curve, and a downhill angle that’s close to unfair.
8. Freddy Peralta
Listed at about 6 feet and 200 lbs, Peralta is the staff ace and the longest-tenured pitcher on the roster. He signed out of the Dominican Republic and came to Milwaukee in the Adam Lind trade back in 2015.
He led the National League in wins in 2025 with 17 and made his second All-Star team. His deceptive delivery hides the ball longer than his velocity suggests.
9. Caleb Durbin
Durbin is listed at 5 feet 6 inches and about 170 lbs, making him one of the shortest players in the majors. Milwaukee got him from the Yankees in the December 2024 Devin Williams trade.
He stole 31 bases in 32 tries in Triple-A in 2024 and barely strikes out. Rookie third baseman on a 97-win team — not bad for a guy nobody drafted until round 14.
10. Brice Turang
Turang goes about 6 feet, 180 lbs — wiry and fast. He won a Gold Glove at second base in 2024 and swiped 50 bags that same year.
His dad Brian Turang played for the Mariners in the ’90s. Brice added real pop to his bat in 2025 while staying one of the best defensive second basemen alive.
11. Brandon Woodruff
Woodruff is the biggest body in the rotation at 6 feet 4 inches and about 240 lbs. The former Mississippi State righty missed all of 2024 after shoulder surgery.
He returned in July 2025 and immediately looked like the two-time All-Star he was before the injury. Getting that velocity back after a capsule repair is rare.
Milwaukee’s run ended in the NLCS, but the roster construction is the story — a group spanning 5-foot-6 to 6-foot-8, built on development instead of spending. Expect most of these names back next October.
