History
The Arizona League Brewers were one of four teams to compete in the inaugural
The AZL Brewers' first game was a 13–11 victory over the
Following the 1995 season, Milwaukee moved their Rookie affiliation from Chandler to the Ogden Raptors of the Pioneer League in Ogden, Utah, to escape Arizona's summer heat and provide their players with better working conditions.[3] They returned to operations in the Arizona League in 2001.[11] From this point, they played their home games at Maryvale Baseball Park (now called American Family Fields of Phoenix), Milwaukee's spring training site since 1998.[12]
Unlike AZL Brewers teams from the initial 1988 to 1995 run, those in the second stretch starting in 2001 posted losing records through 2009.[11] Despite the team's results, two Brewers were selected for the Arizona League Most Valuable Player Award during this period: Hernán Iribarren in 2004 and Lorenzo Cain in 2005.[13][14]
In the 2010 season, manager Tony Diggs led the team to win the Central Division title and a berth in the AZL's limited playoffs. The Brewers defeated the
After this success in 2010, the Brewers returned to posting losing records each season from 2011 to 2016.
In 2019, Milwaukee began fielding two Arizona League squads. AZL Brewers Blue and AZL Brewers Gold, named for their major league team's colors, were created to allow ample playing time for the Brewers' large number of recent high school draftees and international signings.[20] Prior to the 2021 season, the Arizona League was renamed the Arizona Complex League (ACL). In 2022, Brewers Blue outfielder Jace Avina was chosen for the ACL Most Valuable Player Award.[21]
Milwaukee consolidated its Blue and Gold squads into a single team in 2023.
