Blake Burke

22-Year-Old First Baseman1B
Milwaukee Brewers AA
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Burke slashed .300/.377/.579 with 11 home runs and a 25.8 percent strikeout rate in 37 games at Double-A to close 2025. The lefty-hitting first baseman cut his groundball rate from 52.4 percent at High-A to 42.4 percent at Double-A, and his game power has taken off as a result. Burke, who was promoted from High-A Wisconsin to Biloxi on Aug. 2, will face significant internal competition for playing time in the coming years, as first rounders Andrew Fischer and Brock Wilken are also most likely to end up at first base and Andrew Vaughn is under club control through the 2027 season. Still, Burke, who turns 23 in June, opened eyes with his performance at Double-A and he may not require a full 2026 season's worth of development in the upper levels before his bat is big-league ready.

Mastering Double-A
1BMilwaukee Brewers  AA
April 14, 2026
Burke has a .289/.372/.789 slash line with six home runs, three steals, a 9.3 percent walk rate and a 25.6 percent strikeout rate in nine games for Double-A Biloxi.
Analysis
Burke leads all hitters below Triple-A with six homers, and while it may seem logical to bump the 22-year-old first baseman to Triple-A, the Brewers already have notable first-base prospects Brock Wilken, Luke Adams and Tyler Black on the Triple-A Nashville roster. Even so, Burke's production dating back to last year (177 wRC+ in 37 games at Double-A) is more impressive than what the trio blocking him have put together, so he should get the bump in competition one way or another in the coming weeks.
