After a second half collapse took the Milwaukee Brewers out of contention in 2022, they appear to have put last season behind them and are off to a hot start in 2023.
They recently swept the powerful New York Mets in three games and improved their record to 5-1 on the season.
Their offense has been firing on all cylinders, thanks in large part to some new faces.
A few new stars have emerged from within the organization, while others who have come from outside the organization are also doing quite well.
On Twitter, MLB Network posted a graphic featuring each of the Brewers’ biggest contributors so far.

Two stars that the Brewers added this offseason are Brian Anderson and Jesse Winker.
Anderson was non-tendered by the Miami Marlins, while Winker came over from the Seattle Mariners.
Anderson is 9-18 with .500 average, three home runs, and 10 RBI.
Winker has gone 6-18 with a .333 average, two extra-base hits, and seven RBI.
But a couple young stars have also emerged, most notably Joey Wiemer, Garrett Mitchell, and Brice Turang.
Turang hit a grand slam for his first career home run against the Mets on Monday.
He’s 5-16 with a .313 average.
He has also driven in five runs and picked up two extra-base hits.
Wiemer is 6-17 with a .353 average, two extra-base hits, and three RBI.
Mitchell has provided some power, hitting three home runs and going 6-20 in his first 26 at-bats.
The Brewers are a young team that is looking to do some damage and potentially unseat the St. Louis Cardinals at the top of the NL Central.
