In his three MLB seasons, Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang has seen his batting average improve 40 points each season. He's continued to show marked improvement at the plate, which might lead some Brewers fans to consider this point.

Could Turang hit .300 in the 2026 MLB season? Yes, he could.

Look at Turang's power numbers. In 2023, Turang hit six home runs in 404 at-bats; in 2025, he hit seven home runs in 559 at-bats; and last season, Turang hit 18 home runs in 584 at-bats. As four doubles, Turang has gone from nine to 24 to 28 over his first three seasons.

This obviously shows that Turang is getting better and better each season.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy might be smiling like a proud papa when he looks out at second base and sees Turang turning double plays with ease. "He's a ballplayer," Murphy has said about Turang. "You can see it. You can smell it. The best is yet to come for him. He's got so much to give."

What's next for the Brewers' team MVP from 2025? He's going to play for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic next year. Turang has played for Team USA in teenage baseball series and remembers those times quite vividly.

"That was some of the best times that I’ve ever had playing baseball," Turang said, according to an MLB.com article. "I was looking forward to seeing who the team was [for the 2026 tournament], and when I find out it’s me, I was like, 'Oh, man, I’m excited.'"

For the Brewers, they want to make sure that they stay atop the National League Central Division again in 2026. They'd also like a return trip to the National League Championship Series and, potentially, knock off the Los Angeles Dodgers en route to their own World Series championship.

Turang is quickly ensuring that he's a fan favorite, not only for his play on the field but how he handles himself as an MLB player.

The Brewers aren't going to bring a bunch of knuckleheads into the organization. Brewers president of baseball operations Matt Arnold is very selective on who he wants to bring on the team. And, yes, you better believe Murphy has a thing or two to say when new players are being considered for the ballclub.

He's worked hard to make sure the Brewers' clubhouse is strong and full of teammates that will stick up for one another.

That's true teamwork.

Watch for Turang to have a great 2026 and, hopefully, have a pleasant World Baseball Classic experience and avoid getting injured.
