Article: 2022 MLB Draft Day 1 Thread

[Jeremy Nygaard]

Draft Day is finally upon us! You've found the right place to follow the day's events and you're all invited to be a part of the conversation.

This year’s draft will again feature just 20 rounds. Day 1, which begins at 6 p.m. CT and can be viewed on ESPN and MLB Network, will include the first and second rounds as well as both competitive balance rounds and all compensation rounds. There will be 80 selections total.

The Brewers will make three picks tonight, with the first one coming 27th overall in the first round. They will also draft 63rd overall in the second round and will make a selection in competitive balance round B at 72nd overall. The draft will continue on Monday with round 3, beginning at 1 p.m. CT.

We're excited to introduce the Brewers Draft Tracker which will be kept up-to-date not only during the draft but through the entire signing period. So keep coming back for updates!

We'll update this thread with any important information. You're invited to fill the comments with anything draft-related that you find interesting as well!

From MLB.com's latest:

27. Brewers
Callis: Cole Young, SS, North Allegheny HS, Wexford, Pa. (No. 20)
Young is another player in my projection who I suspect I have too low. Most of the Brewers' targets are accomplished college performers: DeLauter, Graham, Thompson, Gilbert and Melton.

Mayo: Justin Campbell, RHP, Oklahoma State (No. 36)
I think the Brewers have preferred to get a college arm here if possible, but it was unclear if there was a fit.

Fangraphs latest:

27. Milwaukee Brewers
Pick: Drew Gilbert, CF, Tennessee
Milwaukee loves contact-oriented up-the-middle players and low-release pitchers (Cooper Hjerpe is an extreme version but off the board here).
