2025 MLB Draft Day 2 Thread

[Jake McKibbin]

This year's draft will once again feature 20 rounds, albeit with a notable twist: it will last just two days, meaning a change to the existing format. Rounds one to three will be covered on day one, and rounds four through twenty will be squeezed into a long day two.

After an eventful day one, prepare for more intrigue to come on day two. Marco Dinges was the Brewers' 4th round pick in 2024, while they have also snagged Tyson Hardin, Cooper Pratt, Bishop Letson, and more over the last two draft cycles in the fourth round onwards.

Where Can I Watch Day Two Of The 2025 MLB Draft?
Day One begins at 11.30 a.m. Eastern Time and can be viewed on MLB.com, MLB Network, and ESPN

How Many Picks Do The Brewers Have on Day Two of The 2025 MLB Draft?
The Milwaukee Brewers have 17 picks in rounds four through twenty of the MLB Draft, selecting with the 125th, 155th, 185th, 215th, 245th, 275th, 305th, 335th, 365th, 395th, 425th, 455th, 485th, 515th, 545th, 575th, and 605th picks of the draft.

What Is The Milwaukee Brewers' Bonus Pool in The 2025 MLB Draft?
The Brewers have $13,138,100 in their slot value for the draft, which, despite trading the 32nd pick to the Boston Red Sox in the Quinn Priester trade, leaves them with the 10th largest bonus pool overall.

How Can I Keep Up To Date With The Milwaukee Brewers Draft Picks?
We have our very own draft tracker that we will endeavor to update as quickly as possible with news of each selection, not only through the draft but also through the entire signing period, so make sure to come back for updates!

There will be lots going on on what should be a hectic night for the Milwaukee Brewers. Having shown a penchant for left-field selections and high upside talent in recent drafts, it promises to be an exciting evening, and we will try to make updates to the story (and add links) as things happen, so keep refreshing!

I think we are done with high schoolers until we start to get real weird with it. Strictly college savings until then.

Dorchies and Tobias in the 9th and 10th last year has really thrown me for a loop. No idea what to expect there.

Latest farm ranking from BA 
11. Jadher Areinamo
12. Brock Wilken
13. Marco Dinges
14. Braylon Payne
15. Eric Bitonti

I wonder where our newest pick, Andrew Fischer, will slot in. My guessing is between Payne and Bitonti? Though I think he might have the highest offensive ceiling amongst them.

Also I'm browsing through unsigned draft eligible players' name with -rowski just for fun. Then I found Ryland Zaborowski, who has the second highest ISO out of SEC behind only Fischer. Though he's on the older side of the class and there's some hole in his swings.

That's gotta be Areinamo's highest ranking among the various outlets. Looks like he's #17 at FanGraphs, #23 at MLB and #30 in the last BF voting.

Love me some Jadher, but he's more like 18-25 range to me than #11.

For where Fischer slots in (going off the BF Top 20), I for sure would have him behind all of Misio, Made, Pena, Pratt, Quero, Henderson, and Gasser in the Top Seven.

After that I would probably go Dinges #8, Adams #9 and Fischer #10 at this point.

Day two is here, and a lot of high school talent is still on the baord. Some may be expensive, but the Brewers may have saved # $1m in round one, perhaps more depending on the deal struck with Cairone who was taken ahead of expectations but is a HS arm.

Personally, I would love to see Josh Owens come to the crew, I adore his swing, but there's a lot of other talent on the board including names like Cameron Appenzeller. Could the Brewers get into some bigger High School names early? What do you think their strategy is on day two?

Most importantly, how many names will Ginger Poulson sign for the Crew?

Unfortunately, the Rangers took Owens last night, I also was a big fan of his...

Here are some names I'll be watching throughout the day today. I'll be tweeting reactions again, if people are interested in following along! I'll also do my best to drop by in here today, but will have a lot on my plate, as I'll be writing articles for the first two picks and then another on rounds 6-10 at least. So a busy day for me 😂

I assume at this point she only shows up for day 2 and they give her 10 of the 17 picks.

Damn I missed that. Shame!

Korbyn Dickerson is another fascinating, really toolsy player and in the OF no less.

Could be a really nice fit, big big speed, big power potential (19 Homers in 2025) and strong center field defense

[jay87shot]

I am hoping for Jack Bauer today, I am sure it will be hard to afford him though.

After that I would like to see a couple of college OF'ers and cheap college arms 4-10. Than as many upside HS and maybe a few college guys who fell through the cracks 11-20.

I'm still not fully sold on him, but we'll see!

If anyone can make pure velocity into something more polished, it's the Brewers.

There are rumours he'll cost several million minimum to peel away from College, and could be a tough sign

Ah, good call.  Somehow missed that one.

[CheeseheadInQC]

James seemed to be getting some late first round hype. Wonder if he is headed to school or someone is floating him.

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Would be fairly disappointing to not see them take a big swing ala Pratt. Especially with all the perceived savings we have gotten. It’s possible we didn’t save much though and it’s a fools errand to try and predict. Gut says we saved a good chunk. 

[Jake McKibbin]

Joshua Flores the 4th round pick 

[balsamlaker]

Based on draft history of the Brewers, I would expect that they be near 75% of slot on their first two picks allowing them to take a couple of bigger swings today.

[Jastro]

Ginger gets her guy... Joshua Flores 

[izzi]

Who? Well if Ginger liked him he's got a chance

[duewizard]

4-125 Joshua Flores RHP (HS Indiana)

[Brewer77]

Another cold weather pitcher. I’m shocked!

Nice prediction @Spencer Michaelis

[Jake McKibbin]

392nd on Baseball America, up to 96 mph on the fastball alongside a 12-6 curveball. Reported to have some loud stuff, the high schooler has a commitment to Kentucky.

The curveball is a plus pitch but he does struggle throwing strikes. Also has a fringe slider and changeup

[snoogans8056]

Joshua Flores!!! Get him Ginger.

[duewizard]

Ranked 243 in MLB's board

[Madhawk23]

Flores is a guy that @Spencer Michaelishas been talking about for several weeks now, and an obvious link there with Adamczewski and Griffin Tobias coming from the same HS.  Looks like a a great pick there!
