Among the players scheduled to attend are Ryan Braun, Jonathan Villar, Orlando Arcia, Keon Broxton, Junior Guerra, Scooter Gennett and Hernan Perez. Newcomers including Travis Shaw, Eric Thames and Jett Bandy also will be on hand, as well as minor-league prospects Lewis Brinson, Josh Hader, Brett Phillips and Jorge Lopez.

Advance tickets are $15 for adults and $9 for children 14 and under. Tickets on the day of the event are $20 for adults and $15 for children 14 and under. On the day of the event, cash is the only accepted form of payment for admittance. Tickets may be purchased at the Miller Park box office, by calling the Brewers ticket office at (414) 902-4000, or online at brewers.com/ondeckthrough noon Jan. 27.
