Milwaukee Brewers fans had a chance to see their team reach the 2025 MLB postseason. While it didn't pan out like they wanted, they did get some extra time to watch second baseman Brice Turang play.

Turang had some stellar performances during the season. His efforts were rewarded by the Milwaukee chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America (BWAA) as Turang was named as the team's Most Valuable Player.

What type of season did Turang have? Brewers reporter Adam McCalvy of MLB.com offered some key notes from the second baseman's season.

"One can’t quibble with this pick, since Turang led the Brewers in both of the most-cited versions of wins above replacement -- 5.5 WAR from Baseball-Reference and 4.4 WAR from FanGraphs -- after taking a significant step forward offensively for the second straight season," McCalvy wrote.

"This year’s jump was especially notable, since Turang went from a 61 weighted runs created plus as a rookie in 2023 (read here for an explanation of why wRC+ is such a useful measure of offensive production) to an 88 wRC+ last season while winning the National League Gold Glove Award at second base and the NL Platinum Glove Award as the league’s top overall defender to a 124 wRC+ in ‘25, when he hit .288/.359/.435 and blew away his career highs with 18 home runs and 81 RBIs."  

"Essentially, he went from being a great defender with a developing bat to the Brewers’ best overall performer," McCalvy wrote.

The BBWA chapter tagged Freddy Peralta as the Brewers' best pitcher in 2025. 

" The easiest selection on the ballot was also the only unanimous one. Peralta was once again the steady hand on a pitching staff with so many moving parts around him, leading the team in starts (33), innings (176 2/3), strikeouts (204) and WAR (5.5 bWAR, 3.6 fWAR).

"His 17 wins led the National League and were the most for a Brewers pitcher since Zach Davies had 17 in 2017," McCalvy wrote. "Peralta was the fifth pitcher in Brewers history to pitch at least 175 innings with an ERA below 3.00 and more than 200 strikeouts, joining Corbin Burnes (2022), Brandon Woodruff (2021), Ben Sheets (2004) and Teddy Higuera (1986)."

Pitcher Quinn Priester earned Newcomer of the Year honors, while pitcher Aaron Ashby earned Unsung Hero accolades. Finally, Christian Yelich won the Good Guy Award from the Milwaukee BWAA chapter.

The Brew Crew is set up for a standout season in 2026. These players all will be expected to contribute to Milwaukee's success in the National League Central Division.
