Doesn't appear to be the "big" swing that any of us were hoping for.  

Two years ago I believe they picked Wagoner before Adams because they didn’t think Wagoner would last until their next pick. Hopefully that is the case here.

Yeah, let's hope so.

I mean, when your organization is flashing massive pitching depth overall...get richer! Just, get richer. As @LouisEly opined yesterday: you can always trade for bats.

Wait a minute. Wait. A. Minute! Another pitcher? You don't say!

Still 8 rounds left, but I have to say these first 2 picks are not what I was expecting.

Article from 4/23 of this past season speaking to tweaks and changes he made to rebound and have a fantastic 2024:

Quote

This year, a fastball with sink and movement has created issues for the bats he faces.

“Last year was hard, but I trusted myself and trusted this coaching staff with Parker coming in. We got to work, made some changes and it paid off,” Hardin said. “Just wanted to get guys off the fastball (with) sinkers, cutters and not throwing something that’s as straight.”

Oh, hey, a cutter? I don't believe it. 

[Joseph Zarr]

This looks, like Parker, like grabbing a guy who is just scratching the surface of his new arsenal. Could both very much be 'Buy Low' on upside candidates at first glance.

Yup. 97 mph with that type of horizontal ride is pretty phenomenal. This was a major revelation season for Hardin as he wowed their entire fanbase. KC Hunt is nodding his head in approval of a stablemate hopping aboard the Brew Crew Pitching Bus.

LHP Joey Broughton, Michigan HS 

You know what to do @wiguy94

[Joseph Zarr]

It would appear Broughton is already throwing 94-96 mph? Jeepers. That's some HS heat.

Looks like he was a late riser and has big spin on his FB

 

[Joseph Zarr]

He touched 95 mph in the 'Super 60 Showcase' back in February of this year.

I agree with this sentiment whole-heartedly. Man oh man. Let's go overslot to the Moon.

[wiguy94]

Prospects Live most recent update had Broughton at #190

 

[Joseph Zarr]

Goodness me oh my I hope they can save some of that Slot money for Broughton. That base foundation layer is so enticing. Gimme gimme gimme! #GivePoulsonTheStatue

[Madhawk23]

OK, so clearly we're going to have to go over-slot to sign Broughton.  With our success rate at signing most of those later round HS guys last year, I've got to figure that we feel pretty good about having enough money to make that happen with him.  

[Joseph Zarr]

The question remains:

Will the Brewers select another position player...ever?! Stay tuned!

[Jose Cardenal]

Dreaming on the marriage of the DSL position players and the HS Pitchers we have drafted.

The Arizona Complex team is going to be something in 2025.

AHA! I lured it into the money shot:

I have a distinct feeling, Doyle is going to like the Brewers draft even more - if that is possible:
