Brewers Announce 2025 Robin Yount Performance Awards

MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Brewers today announced their 2025 Robin Yount Performance Awards, naming infielder Jesús Made (MAH-day) as Minor League Player of the Year and right-handed pitcher Tyson Hardin as Minor League Pitcher of the Year.

Made, 18, batted .285/.379/.413 with 28 doubles, 6 triples, 6 HR, 61 RBI, 81 runs and 47 stolen bases in 115 games between Low-A Carolina (83g), High-A Wisconsin (27g) and Double-A Biloxi (5g).

Made joins Taylor Green (2007, 2011) and Jackson Chourio (2022-23) as the only players in franchise history to earn Minor League Player of the Year multiple times as he shared the award with Cooper Pratt in 2024.

Ranked as Milwaukee’s No. 1 prospect and No. 5 overall by MLB Pipeline, Made began 2025 with Carolina where he batted .267/.373/.388 with 21 doubles, 3 triples, 4 HR, 46 RBI and 40 stolen bases in 83 games. He earned Carolina League All-Star honors at utility and was named as the Top MLB Prospect in the league.

Made was promoted to Wisconsin on August 3 and batted .343/.415/.500 (37-for-108) with 7 doubles, 2 triples, 2 HR, 12 RBI, 20 runs and 5 stolen bases in 27 games with the Timber Rattlers. He was moved up to Biloxi on September 8 and played 5 regular season games with the Shuckers. Made started both postseason games for Biloxi and connected on his first Double-A home run in Game 2 of the Southern League Division Series.

The Brewers signed Made as a non-drafted free agent out of the Dominican Republic in January 2024. He represented Milwaukee at the 2025 All-Star Futures Game in Atlanta.

Hardin, 23, went 6-5 with a 2.72 ERA (96ip, 29er), 96 strikeouts and 17 walks in 21 starts between Wisconsin (11gs) and Biloxi (10gs) in his first full professional season in 2025.

The right-hander earned Midwest League All-Star honors following the season after going 4-3 with a 2.34 ERA (57.2ip, 15er) and 62 strikeouts in 11 starts for Wisconsin before being promoted to Biloxi on June 18. With the Shuckers, Hardin went 2-2 with a 3.29 ERA (38.1ip, 14er) and 34 strikeouts in 10 starts.

Selected in the 12th round of the 2024 First-Year Player Draft out of Mississippi State University, Hardin is ranked by MLB Pipeline as the No. 20 prospect in the Brewers system.
