Timber Rattlers get infusion of new talent for final playoff run
Wisconsin Timber Rattlers add high draft picks Brady Ebel and Sawyer Strosnider to boost their late playoff push.
The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers are in a race to secure a playoff spot in the Midwest League, with only a few weeks left in the season. The team is currently down by six and a half games in the West Division standings after a 13-6 loss to the South Bend Cubs on Aug. 26. To improve their chances, the Timber Rattlers have signed several new draft picks, including Brady Ebel and Sawyer Strosnider, who are both high-priority prospects for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Ebel, the 2025 first-round selection, and Strosnider, the 2026 second-round pick, represent exciting additions to the team, as they aim to contribute to a potential playoff run. Ebel, a shortstop, is optimistic about contributing to the team and hopes his performance will lead to a championship ring for Wisconsin. Strosnider, an outfielder, sees this as an opportunity to make a strong impact and advance his career.
The Timber Rattlers welcome support from other recent additions like Yannic Walther, Luis Lameda, Andrew Healy, and Filippo Di Turi as they compete for playoff positioning.
