    Scouting Report

    Andrew Fischer is one of the more complete college hitting profiles in this class, having established a track record of performance and consistent improvement in both the ACC and SEC. A transfer from Ole' Miss to Tennessee, Fischer has a physical frame at 6' 1, 200 and an approach that's consistently improved throughout his time in college ball. He takes his walks, and strikes out an acceptable amount. There's a ton of bat speed and juice in the profile, Fisher had a 113 mph Max EV and a EV90 north of 106 mph in 2024.

    Fischer has answered some questions about his hit tool so far in 2025. He's become more selective at the plate and cut into his strikeout rate significantly. He has an above average arm, but the speed and defense are lacking. The 2025 offensive production ameliorates some of the less exciting supplementary tools. Fischer finished with a .341/.497/.760 line with 25 home runs, an absurd 21.6 BB%, and a 14.4 K% he trimmed ~5% off from 2024.

    Under the hood, Fischer doesn’t have a ton of holes in his swing. He rocked an average exit velocity, barrel rate, walk rate, and slugging percentage all at least in the 90th percentile in D1 baseball. His approach and his damage on contact is impressive. He’s one of the few college hitting profiles in this class I feel confident will mash at the next level.

    Brewers Minor League Link Report (4/8): Second Verse, Same As The First

    For the second night in a row, Biloxi and Wisconsin coasted, while Nashville and Wilson stumbled. A bunch of top prospects flashed their potential on Wednesday night, highlighted by Andrew Fischer's grand slam and Josh Adamczewski's three-run homer. For the second straight night we saw a Brewers pitcher make their return to the mound after missing all of 2025.

    Scouting Report

    Brady Ebel is the son of Dodgers long-time third base coach Dino Ebel. He'll be one of the youngest prospects in the entire draft at just 17 on draft day.

    The LSU commit has plenty of tools to be excited about. It's a simple, sweet left-handed swing in which he's able to manipulate the barrel well and keep it in the zone a long time. It's currently hit over power, but there's plenty more to hang on his 6'3, 195-pound frame. It's likely with some projection and his solid bat speed that there's more power to come for Ebel.

    Defensively, Ebel has an average glove. He doesn't have good foot speed, although he does have a plus arm, soft hands, and solid actions in the infield. He'll likely slide over to third base long term, where he'll need his power to come into play more for his offensive profile to fit seamlessly. This is a young prep profile with four tools that are at least average, with a strong track record of performance. He won't last long on day one.

    Scouting Report

    JD Thompson is yet another name in a deep and diverse array of college left-handed pitchers in the 2025 class. In terms of frame, it's more compact. Thompson stands at 6'0, 185 pounds with good strength and power in his lower half. While Thompson doesn't have a high-octane fastball, it's a whiff monster thanks to 18 inches of carry from a lower arm slot. The pitch typically sits in the 91-93 mph range, though he can crank it up to 95 mph. He commands the pitch, too, helping it be relatively dominant for the level.

    His best secondary is his slider. It sits in the 78-81 mph range with good horizontal movement and ties up left-handed hitters frequently. There's also a curveball and changeup in the mix, too. The changeup, in particular, has flashed above average with some fade and tumble. All of this comes from a delivery that is relatively smooth and repeatable.

    Thompson has consistently posted in 2025. Through 90 IP, he has a 3.34 FIP, striking out 32.1% of hitters and walking 7.9% against some of the strongest competition in the country. He's set himself up as a day one name in July.

    Frank Cairone is a cold-weather left-handed prep arm out of Jersey, who still isn't getting the love he deserves on boards two weeks out from the draft. It's a physical frame at 6 '2, 200 pounds who will be 17 on draft day and one of the youngest prospects in the class.

    Cairone took a significant velocity pop in 2025, and his fastball will now sit 91-93 mph and touch 94 mph. He pairs it with a sweeping breaker that, while not yet refined, demonstrates the type of spin traits many organizations will covet. Cairone is a Coastal Carolina commit who is a bit under-ranked, given the developmental step forward he took in 2025 and the outstanding spin traits he demonstrates.

    Scouting Report

    With the 94th pick of the 2025 MLB Draft, the Brewers selected Jacob Morrison, a RHP out of Coastal Carolina. Morrison was ranked as the 187th overall prospect by Baseball America and 173rd by MLB.com.

    At 6-foot-8 and 245 pounds, Morrison is one of the most physically imposing pitchers in the 2025 college draft class. After flashing mid-90s velocity as a freshman at Coastal Carolina in 2023, he missed the 2024 season recovering from Tommy John surgery. Morrison returned in 2025 with a standout campaign, earning Sun Belt Pitcher of the Year honors and helping lead the Chanticleers to the College World Series finals. Morrison posted a 2.42 ERA with 104 strikeouts and 23 walks over 107.2 innings.

    Morrison’s fastball ranges from 91–95 mph, sitting 93 while touching 96, and plays better than the radar gun suggests due to excellent carry at the top of the zone and steep downhill plane from his exceptionally high release point. He generates elite strike and chase rates with the pitch, despite not being a true power arm. His primary secondary is a mid-80s slider, which has solid depth and is his most reliable swing-and-miss pitch. He also throws a 12-to-6 curveball in the mid-70s, though he struggles to land both breakers for strikes consistently. His low-80s changeup has some fade, but he tends to leave it in hittable spots.

    Morrison’s delivery is upright and not especially fluid, but he creates strong extension and repeats it well enough to throw consistent strikes. He’s more control than command at present, but he walked just 5.4% of batters in 2025. Morrison shows the potential for at least average command, with possible growth to plus.

    Despite being slightly older for his class—he’ll turn 22 shortly after the draft—Morrison is still a bit raw and has less mileage than many peers due to his missed season. His size, durability, and arsenal give him a clear starter profile, with room to grow.

    Scouting Report

    Joshua Flores hails from the same high school as 2023 pick Josh Adamczewski and 2024 pick Griffin Tobias, making it three years in a row the Brewers went to the well at Lake Central High School in Indiana.

    MLB Pipeline has Flores ranked 243rd overall, and wrote, "Indiana's high school pitching crop runs deeper than usual this year, and Flores has the loudest stuff of the group. He features one of the best curveballs in the national prep class, though he also averaged a walk per inning as a senior. He comes with a high ceiling but also a good deal of reliever risk. Flores' hammer curveball ranges from 82-85 mph with downer break, grading as a well above-average pitch at times, but also moving so much he has difficulty landing it in the zone. He has better command of a tighter slider with similar velocity. Hitters can't really guard against his breaking balls because his fastball sits at 92-95 mph and touches 97 with some armside run and carry. Flores barely utilizes his mid-80s changeup, which flashes some interesting tumble. The Kentucky recruit has a long arm action and effort in his delivery, which hampers his ability to throw strikes, let alone locate his offerings with much precision. He'll be an intriguing project for a team that believes in its ability to develop pitchers."

    Scouting Report

    Sean Episcope is from the Chicago area originally, but has spent his college career at Princeton. At 6'0, he throws from a higher slot than you would expect. After undergoing Tommy John Surgery his senior year of high school, he is dealing with another elbow injury currently that will likely keep him out for a while.

    MLB Pipeline has Episcope ranked 215th overall, and their write-up discusses how he, "made 10 uneven starts as a freshman with the Tigers in 2024, but came out of the gate this year like gangbusters, with 26 strikeouts and just four walks in 20 innings, including a nine-strikeout, five-inning start at Wake Forest that opened a lot of eyes. But he came out of his fourth start with his biceps tingling, and it was eventually determined that he required another procedure, getting internal brace surgery in May."

    They then dive into his interesting pitch mix, saying, "Episcope does have the pitch mix to potentially start when healthy. He was topping out at 97 mph with his fastball and averaging a touch over 94, while maintaining that velocity throughout his starts before he got shut down. He has two legitimate breaking balls, with a mid-80s gyro-like slider and more of a 12-to-6 power curve up to 82 mph that registered elite-level spin rates north of 3,000 rpm. Combined, the two breakers elicited a 60-percent miss rate over his four starts, according to Synergy. Episcope did an excellent job filling up the strike zone this spring, but given the lack of history on the mound and the multiple elbow procedures, it's a little more difficult to pinpoint where he belongs in a Draft class. Some thought he could go as high as the second round as a future starter had his success continued, while others see his size and injuries and see a reliever profile."

    Scouting Report

    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.

    Scouting Report

    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.

    Scouting Report

    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.

    Scouting Report

    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.

    Scouting Report

    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.

    Scouting Report

    The Brewers made CJ Hughes their 11th-round selection, beginning a run of prep picks in the rounds that formerly made up day three of the draft. Hughes is a shortstop with the makings of potentially being a plus defender in the bigs someday. His actions and his feel for the game at short are very strong for his age, and his athleticism is on full display on the infield dirt. His arm is strong enough to handle short, as well.

    Offensively, he's a switch-hitter with really good bat-to-ball ability from both sides and a twitchy swing, to complement a strong approach. He has shown flashes of power from the left side, but very little from the right. He will need to add good weight to his frame over time to get to some extra-base power, while also maintaining his plus speed and athleticism. 

    This will certainly be an overslot bonus for the 17-year-old, but the odds of signing Hughes away from his UC Santa Barbara commitment would seem to be high, as the Brewers don't tend to use 11th-round picks on players they don't expect to sign.

    Underwood fits the Brewers' mold as a high schooler. The left-hander only sits in the upper 80s with his fastball, though that was up to 91-92 in spring, but the shape of the fastball is tremendous, getting well above-average carry on the pitch.

    He spins a curveball and a slider in the near-3,000 RPM range, with two very different shapes and some difference in velocity. He also throws a changeup that has a good shape to it, but would benefit from separating a bit further from the fastball in velocity.

    Underwood had a very strong senior season, pitching 73 2/3 innings, striking out 148 batters and posting a 0.48 ERA, according to Max Preps. Committed to Georgia Tech, this could be a tough sign for the Brewers, but he seems like a great potential fit for the organization.

    Drafted as a pitcher, some evaluators liked Lauridsen's bat more than his arm. A USC commit, he could be a tough sign for the Brewers, but the stuff on the mound is very intriguing.

    His fastball has been up to 97 and, while it can have inconsistent shape, it will flash carry of up to 19 inches of induced vertical break. His curveball and slider are both interesting offerings that, like the fastball, show inconsistencies in their shapes. Lauridsen also mixes in a changeup that has the potential to be his best secondary down the road, though the feel for it is currently touch-and-go. 

    The delivery is very clean, and Lauridsen generates a lot of extension without much effort. The pitch shapes would need to be cleaned up in pro ball, but he would be a very interesting arm to add to the system.

    Brock has 70-grade speed, something you don't see from catchers. His receiving reportedly needs work, though he has a pretty good arm, and is obviously an athletic mover behind the plate as well.

    Offensively, he shows the ability to hit for power and a solid hit tool. He's the all-time homerun champion at Southwestern Illinois by a healthy mark in just two years of play and his .431/.541/.844 career slash speaks to just how dominant he has been in college so far.

    An Oklahoma commit, this could be a tough sign for the Brewers, but Tod Johnson told the media that Brock was open to negotiating.

    A late riser on draft boards, Cadiz is a bat-first prospect out of Notre Dame High in California.

    Likely a first baseman long term, Cadiz has done nothing but hit all spring, and into the summer, where he has dominated a collegiate wood bat league. He has slashed .375 /.464/650 for a 1.114 OPS in 140 PA for the Walla Walla Sweets of the West Coast League.

    He has seven home runs, more walks than strikeouts and has already posted exit velocities of up to 112 MPH with a wood bat. As a late bloomer, it's unclear where his mindset is at in terms of whether to sign or not, but a UCLA commitment often proves to be too enticing for a player to decline.

    Coil had great results out of the Arkansas bullpen this season, posting a 1.27 ERA in 22 innings, with a 24:2 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

    Comign from the left side, Coil's fastball is usually in the upper 80's, though he's touched 94 at times. He frequently mixes in a cutter with similar velocity, only a tick or two slower. Coil will also mix in a a big sweeper with big time spin rates, and a changeup that plays well off of his fastball.

    It seems likely that Coil will remain a reliever, but the Brewers have a history of trying these types of pitchers out as starters. Coil seems like the safest bet of the 11-20 picks to sign with the Brewers.

    Scouting Report

    Roupe's repertoire is largely built around his fastball and his curveball. Those two offerings helped him pitch his way to a 2.01 ERA over 62 2/3 innings, striking out 100 along the way.

    The fastball gets up to 94 MPH and has good carry and is pretty high spin. The curveball spins in the 2400 RPM range, and has some good depth and sweep to it, in the low-80s. 

    Roupe will also mix a sweeper in at times, thrown a bit harder than the curve, and has a changeup that will need development.

    Committed to South Carolina, Roupe will likely be looking for a pretty big bonus to sign. If he does, his pitchability and the starting point of his fastball and curveball combination will make him an interesting name to follow.

    Scouting Report

    A potential sleeper selection for the Brewers in the 18th round, Mills is a catcher from a small school in Missouri. He is committed to Southeast Missouri State.

    Mills has posted exit velocities of up to 110 MPH, and shown bat speed of up to 83 MPH using Blast sensors. There is tremendous pop in the bat, and he showed it with his 1.794 OPS, and 1.145 slugging percentage in high school his senior year. He had 39 hits, 23 of which were the extra base variety. 10 of those were home runs. 

    Defensively, he looks a little slow on the trigger to make throws, but has a strong arm. Cleaning up the footwork and the exchange a bit could lead to consistent pop times under two seconds.

    The commitment to a smaller school would seem to make it more likely that he will be one of the players to sign from this group of 11-20 selections.

    Scouting Report

    Bentley had a tremendous season at IMG Academy this past year, posting a 0.94 ERa and striking out 62 to only five walks.

    Equipped with an upper-80s fastball with some carry, and a changeup that is pretty high spin and shows late fade. The changeup is a pitch he shows really advannced feel for. Bentley also mixes in an interesting slider that flashes as an above-average pitch at times.

    Bentley is seen as someone who could add velocity down the line and already possesses an interesting three pitch mix. A Texas A&M commit, who is also signed to the Klutch agency would seem to be an unlikely sign, but you can never rule it out.

    Scouting Report

    The Brewers final selection on Monday, Holden is another two-way in high school that the Brewers drafted as a pitcher. He's also another that seems unlikey to be signed away from his Alabama commitment. 

    That said, he has an intriguing repertoire. He has touched 95 MPH on his fastball and sits in the low-90s consistently. His curveball is thrown about 20 MPH slower than the fastball, and he splits the difference with his slider, which he throws in the 78-81 MPH range. He spins both of them well, with the slider being a true put-away pitch for him. He also flashes a low-80s changeup that he shows good feel for.

    Holden is likely to make it to Alabama, where he appears to be on track to be a two-way player in college. Perhaps the Brewers will revisit Holden when he is back in the draft in a few years, but for now, he seems pretty likely to make it to campus.
