Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Royals fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
We’re back with another Reacts survey! In this week’s survey, we’re asking fans who they think will lead the Brewers in home runs in 2026.
In 2025, the Crew ranked 22nd in the league with 166 homers as a team, and no players eclipsed the 30-homer mark. Christian Yelich led the squad
with 29 bombs, followed by Jackson Chourio (21), Brice Turang (18), William Contreras (17), Sal Frelick and Rhys Hoskins (12 each), Caleb Durbin (11), and Isaac Collins and Andrew Vaughn (nine each).
Vaughn hit the nine-homer mark across just 64 games, which would put him at a 23-homer pace across a full season. However, all nine of those homers came in his first month and a half with the team, as he had no regular season home runs from August 16 through the end of the regular season (though he did hit two in the postseason).
Contreras’ 17-homer mark was also likely fluky, as he dealt with a finger injury throughout the season that seemed to zap his power at the plate.
For those reasons, I’ve included Yelich, Chourio, Vaughn, and Contreras as the main options here, with “someone else” also available for voting. Who do you think will lead the team in homers in 2026? Answer the poll below and stay tuned for results later this week!
