Save some slot money with that pick - I like him, typical Brewers up the middle guy.  

Save money is the same as saying overdrafted.

[biglegend]

I think this was the classic - an improving prospect that is a tremendous athlete with a very high ceiling. True shortstop skills that could bring some power to the position as well

[brewers888]

Obviously all we have to go on his highlights but woof.

[narwhalattack]

Brewers drafts in a nutshell:

- Up the middle guys

- Someone no one expected

- Who needs power?

[Never Outhustled]

Wow, laughably bad pick. He hasn't hit and might not be a SS. The Brewers no long produce hitters because they no longer draft good hitters.

Why do I even get excited about their drafts anymore? 

Yeah they are terrible at developing talent lately, why bother.

[brewers888]

By tomorrow morning this place will turn this guy into A Rod when he looks like a powerless guy from his highlights.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I'm definitely not whelmed by this pick.  One might say I'm a little underwhelmed.

[Platoon Power]

Not exactly a glowing endorsement of the pick.

That stance is Counsell-esque. Not a direct comp but had me do a double take. That is all.

They've literally said that he's one of the best defensive shortstops in college baseball.  He absolutely will stick at SS.

The guys on MLB think he more of a Second Baseman

You are absolutely correct and the Brewers scouting department is full of them.

Fangraph's  had as the 35th player on their big board.  Not really a big overdraft.  He was lower on MLBs list but whatever.

[Eye Black]

Eric Brown reportedly hit 61% of his batted balls greater than 95-mph.

Some excerpts from the FanGraphs scouting report…

”Brown is one of the best athletes in the draft class, he has exceptional range at shortstop, and his swing is so explosive that it makes him dangerous even though he has middling raw power.”

“He is extremely difficult to make swing and miss, and while he doesn't have the arm for shortstop, he's a premium infield athlete who could be plus at second base. He's not likely to hit for big power, but Brown still projects as a middle infielder with a plus bat,”

Looks like the majority of them are hit on the ground so he can be the next Brewers player to hit really hard groundouts.

Sign him and have him replace Wong.  He'll fit right in with those hard hit outs.

The team that’s won the 6th most games in baseball since 2018 with a payroll that is a fraction of their competition is bad at scouting?

Tough crowd.

So what's the plan? To add more loft? Will that be enough to add a ton of production? He's not good now, playing in a bad conference.
