Professional career
The Milwaukee Brewers selected Pratt in the sixth round of the 2023 Major League Baseball draft. He signed with the Brewers and made his professional debut with the Arizona Complex League Brewers, hitting .356 over 12 games. He played the 2024 season with the Carolina Mudcats and Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, hitting .277 with eight home runs, 45 RBI, and 27 stolen bases over 96 games. Pratt was assigned to the Biloxi Shuckers for the 2025 season and slashed .238/.343/.348. At the end of the year, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel listed him as the Brewers' number two prospect.
The Brewers assigned Pratt to the Nashville Sounds to begin the 2026 season. On April 3, Pratt and the Brewers finalized an eight-year, $50.75 million contract extension and the team added him to their 40-man roster. The contract has two club options for 2034 and 2035 that would push the contract's value to over $80 million if picked up. At the time of the contract's signing, Baseball America ranked Pratt as the 53rd-best prospect in MLB; other outlets ranked him lower. He had the least amount of upper-level professional experience—three games at the Triple-A level or higher—of any MLB player who had ever signed a contract extension. The Brewers promoted Pratt to the major leagues for the first time on June 16, 2026.
In the 2026 World Series, in which the Brewers won their first-ever championship in five games over the Tampa Bay Rays, Pratt batted 8-for-19 with one home run and even RBIs, including six hits in six consecutive at bats between games four and five—something no rookie had ever done in the World Series before.
In the 12th inning of Game 4 of the 2026 World Series, Pratt hit a solo home run off Ian Seymour for the Brewers to break a tie and put the team in the lead at 3–2, three outs away from a sweep. However, the Rays scored two runs in the bottom of the 12th to take the game and force a fifth game. In the same game, Pratt became the sixth-ever under-23 player to record four hits in a World Series game, one day after teammate Jackson Chourio accomplished the feat.
