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.
