How much of a Wild Card is Cooper Pratt for the Brewers in the World Series? Matty V, @YonderalonsoU, Rich Hill and Cli Via @MLBNetwork on X

What happened: MLB Network's MLBTonight framed Cooper Pratt as Milwaukee's potential World Series difference-maker. Matty V, Yonder Alonso, Rich Hill and Cliff Floyd broke down his fit for the Fall Classic.

Why it matters: A short championship series rewards unexpected production from the bottom of the roster. Pratt is still in his first major-league season after debuting this summer and collecting his first hit with family in attendance.

By the numbers: Pratt posted a .888 OPS through nine July games.

What to watch: Milwaukee's lineup and defensive alignment will show how large Pratt's World Series role becomes.
