Meet the Brewers Who Won the 2026 World Series

After delivering Milwaukee its first title, the 2026 Brewers are sure to be immortalized and remembered for years to come.

So let's meet the men who achieved the historic feat.

AARON ASHBY — PITCHER, NO. 26

Drafted by the Brewers in the fourth round of the 2018 MLB draft.

Aaron Ashby made his MLB debut for the Brewers in 2021 as a starting pitcher.

He ultimately became a major part of Milwaukee's bullpen in 2024.

This year, Ashby finished his regular season with a 13-3 record, a 3.12 ERA and 116 strikeouts.

In the postseason, Ashby pitched 18 scoreless innings.

He struck out a team-best 20 hitters.

He allowed a team-best .089 opponent batting average.

JAKE BAUERS — FIRST BASEMAN, NO. 9

Jake Bauers was a journeyman his entire career before landing with the Brewers.

Drafted in the seventh round by the San Diego Padres in 2013.

Bauers ironically made his MLB debut in 2018 for the Tampa Bay Rays.

The first baseman then played for the Cleveland Guardians, Seattle Mariners, and the New York Yankees from 2019 to 2023.

He was finally traded to the Brewers ahead of the 2024 season, where he has remained since.

During the 2026 regular season, Bauers hit .266 with 26 home runs and 94 RBIs.

He finished third in OBP (.389) and 10th in walks (94) among all MLB players.

In the postseason, he had 10 walks and nine hits — including a home run.

He was the most valuable player of the National League Championship Series.

JACKSON CHOURIO — OUTFIELDER, NO. 11

Signed in 2021 as an international free agent.

Jackson Chourio was part of the Brewers' system as one of baseball's top prospects leading up to his MLB debut in 2024.

He signed an eight-year, $82 million contract with the club before making his debut.

In the 2026 regular season, Chourio hit .291 — 10th in the majors — with 25 home runs, 75 RBIs and stole 23 bases.

As for the postseason, Chourio tied for the team lead with nine RBIs.

That included a memorable walk-off against the San Diego Padres.

THE ROAD TO THE TITLE

The Brewers posted a 103-59 regular-season record to claim the NL Central crown.

They eliminated the San Diego Padres in four games during the NLDS.

The Brewers then swept the two-time defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS.

The Dodgers entered that matchup with MLB's highest payroll and a roster loaded with star power.

Manager Pat Murphy and the Brewers then took the first three games against the Tampa Bay Rays in the Fall Classic.

Milwaukee dropped Game 4 but sealed the championship in Game 5.

HALL OF FAME VERDICT

Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench recognized Milwaukee's achievement, according to MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM.

"Who was the best team in baseball? There's not a question, Milwaukee had it," Bench remarked.

Bench earned his place in the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989 after a decorated career with the Cincinnati Reds.

He was part of the team's championship runs in 1975 and 1976, when the star-studded squad became known as the "Big Red Machine."

THE FRONT OFFICE FALLOUT

Already, roughly a week after they won their first World Series in franchise history, opposing MLB teams are trying to poach front office talent away from the team assembled by GM/President of Baseball Operations Matt Arnold.

According to Ken Rosenthal, the Athletics are hiring Cam Castro, Milwaukee's Senior Vice President of Player Development and Performance, as their new GM.
