Ebel brothers share an at-bat in Brewers minor-league stat quirk

In a quirky minor-league baseball moment, Milwaukee Brewers first-round draft picks Brady and Trey Ebel shared an at-bat for the Class A Wilson Warbirds on August 25, 2026. Despite not having played together in their professional careers, Trey, drafted a week prior to his brother in 2026, filled in for Brady during a resumption of a suspended game from July 19 against Hickory.

The Warbirds continued the paused game as part of a doubleheader, with Trey stepping into the box as the shortstop and drawing a walk. Brady finished the game with an official 0-for-0 performance, including a hit by pitch. The Warbirds went on to win the doubleheader, 12-4, before losing the nightcap 8-5. Trey, who had a .471 batting average through his first seven games with the Warbirds, showed promise early in his minor-league career.

Meanwhile, Brady has posted a .580 OPS in his first seven games while playing for the Timber Rattlers, but his overall .822 performance across both Wilson and Wisconsin teams has solidified his position within the Brewers' prospect rankings. Following a collision with teammate Daniel Dickinson during their game, Brady left early.
