Rounds six through 10 of the MLB Draft have concluded, and the Brewers have made five more selections, with 10 remaining in rounds 11-20.

Round 6, 185 Overall: 2B/SS Daniel Dickinson, LSU -- 81st Player by Consensus
The Brewers selected Dickinson out of LSU, where he won a national championship in his first season in Baton Rouge, having spent the previous two seasons at Utah Valley. Dickinson was ranked 81st on the Consensus Big Board.

Our Jamie Cameron wrote, "A compact frame underpins a direct, adjustable swing. Dickinson controls the barrel of the bat well and has good bat speed. Dickinson is able to leverage all fields in a profile that is well-balanced. It's a good approach at the plate, with almost as many walks (13.1%) as strikeouts (13.8%) through the end of the 2025 season. Dickinson swatted 12 home runs and carried a 125 wRC+ to boot.

Cameron also says, "Dickinson shows good bat-to-ball skills and fringe-average power. Defensively, it's likely a second base profile long term. It's a solid but unspectacular defensive package. Offensively, though, this is a well-rounded hitter who does a little of everything well." 

Dickinson is unlikely to be a significant power threat at the next level, but he shows the ability to be a hit-first second baseman who brings a scrappy attitude and play-style to the field, which is a profile that the Brewers have found plenty of success with.

Round 7, Pick 215 Overall: OF Josiah Ragsdale, Boston College
The Brewers selected Sal Frelick out of Boston College in 2021, and have gone back to the well with this selection.

Ragsdale is another speedy, left-handed hitting outfielder, though Ragsdale is a lesser defender than Frelick. Most evaluators expect Ragsdale to end up in left field, as his speed does not play as well in the outfield as it does on the bases, where he went 30-36 on stolen base attempts for BC this year, and followed that up by going 15-18 in the Cape Cod League.

On the offensive side of things, Ragsdale's setup and swing are a bit reminiscent of Curtis Granderson, and Ragsdale has a bit more pop than his five home runs on the season would point to. Still, it's a hit over power profile, and he has shown improved swing decisions year-over-year. In a step up in competition from Iona to Boston College, Ragsdale posted a .915 OPS this past season, and followed that up with a .918 OPS in 60 plate appearances in the Cape Cod League this summer.

Round 8, Pick 245 Overall: RHP Hayden Vucinovich, Bloomington Jefferson HS (MN)
Vucinovich is another pick from Ginger Poulson's area, which has become a staple of Day Two and (formerly) Day Three of the draft in recent years. The righty has been up to 95 MPH in games and has touched 96.8 MPH in a bullpen setting.

Standing 6'1, Vucinovich throws his fastball from a low release height, with above average extension, which helps it play up above the pure shape of the fastball, which could use some tinkering. Perhaps a candidate for adding the other fastball variations that the Brewers love. 

His curveball is his best pitch currently, thrown in the low-80s, spinning around 2,900 RPMs and averaging around -10 inches of induced vertical break, and 14 inches of sweep. He also turns a slider that has a shorter break than the curve and is thrown in the upper 80s with a spin rate of around 2,600 RPMs.

He rounds out the current repertoire with a solid-looking changeup that is thrown in the upper-80s as well. He kills the spin on the pitch well and generates around 15-17 inches of run.

Young for the class, Vucinovich only turned 18 about a month before the draft. Brewers will likely need to tinker with the fastball shape and improve the command, but there's room to add to the frame, potentially reaching even more velocity, and a strong starting point with his secondary offerings.

Round 9, Pick 275 Overall: LHP Andrew Healy, Duke
The left-handed Healy got off to a fantastic start to his college career, posting a 2.32 ERA in 42 2/3 innings his freshman season. He struck out 24.7% of hitters he faced and walked only 3.8% of hitters, pitching out of the bullpen, as well as making some starts.

He continued that swingman role his sophomore year, still posting a strong 3.76 ERA, keeping his strikeout rate steady at 24.7%, but his walk rate nearly tripled, going up to 10% in 2024. 2025 went off the rails for him, as he posted a 7.76 ERA, and his strikeout rate went down pretty significantly to 18.9%. He was in the portal this offseason before the Brewers selected him. 

Healy throws a fastball in the low-90s that shows flashes of being able to reach back for more, even getting up to 97 at times. The shape of the pitch is solid, but unspectacular, and his command of the pitch regressed during his time at Duke.

His changeup is his best pitch, and did the best job of generating whiffs of all his pitches. He has shown a level of comfort with the pitch against righties and lefties.

He rounds out the repertoire with a slurve-type breaking ball, which he shows an ability to spin, but is lacking in shape and command. 

The Brewers are likely banking on helping Healy find his Freshman form, and will hope to better weaponize his ability to spin the breaking ball. For a college arm, there is untapped potential here, as he could probably stand to add a bit of weight still as well, potentially helping him find more consistency in his velocity.

Round 10, Pick 305 Overall: RHP Braylon Owens, UTSA
Owens got some attention during UTSA's run in the College World Series, closing out their upset win against Texas with seven strikeouts in four innings.

Owens is a true, four-year senior who spent his entire career at UTSA and likely will be an underslot selection. He has an interesting pitch profile, throwing five pitches and getting up to 96 MPH on his fastball.

He has the three fastball combination that the Brewers value, throwing his four-seam and two-seam in the 90-93 range, but getting into the mid-90s in shorter stints and in bigger moments. The two-seam has an intriguing shape to it, with some good armside life. His cutter is thrown in the upper-80s, and all three variations work off of each other pretty well, though he can struggle with the command of all of them at times.

For his secondaries, Owens mixes a slider in the 82-83 range, which he spins up to 2,800 RPMs and can get some swing-and-miss with, particularly against righties. He also mixes in more of a downer curveball in the upper-70s, with good feel for spin on that as well.

He lacks a changeup, which could cause some platoon issues. Still, for a senior sign there are intriguing characteristics here, not to mention his competitiveness, which was on full display down to the end of his career, as he attempted to pitch through a 108 MPH comebacker off his throwing elbow.

The Brewers will finish their draft with rounds 11-20, which will begin at 3:10 CT today (July 14th). We will be back to wrap up Day Two for you later on!
