Analyzing Every Milwaukee Brewers Rounds 11-15 Draft Picks In the 2026 MLB Draft

The Brewers brought in two college arms, who will almost certainly sign, and then also drafted three prep players who are less of a certainty to sign, but all bring some interesting traits to the table.

Round 11, Pick 341: RHP Gavin Perry -- Western Kentucky

Perry is a different type of pick than we usually see from the Brewers in round 11. A fifth-year senior, Perry is a similar type of pitcher to Braylon Owens from the 2025 draft. Like Owens, Perry seems to have a reputation for pitching with a lot of fire and as a competitor. He's a big guy, listed at 6'5, 265 pounds, and throws in the 92-94 MPH range on his fastball for the most part. Unlike Owens, his fastball appears to be more of the sinker variety. It's a four-pitch mix, including a curveball, a slider, and a splitter. He appears to be the type of arm that could potentially add a cutter to the mix in the pro ball as well. 

Perry had a very strong season in 2026, posting a 3.89 ERA in 15 starts. He struck out 83 batters in 85 2/3 innings and only walked 19. This isn't the highest upside pick, but Owens has shown that there can be quite a bit of value in this type of pitcher, already making it to Double-A, not even a year after he was drafted.

Round 12, Pick 371: RHP Marcus Kruzan -- Minnesota

Kruzan began his career at St Thomas in Minnesota before transferring to Minnesota for this most recent season. He's a native of Ashland, WI, as well. He pitched well in his first season with the Gophers. Kruzan started 12 of his 14 appearances and finished with 52 2/3 innings total. He struck out 54 and only walked 16, which was a big improvement from where he had been the couple of seasons he spent at St Thomas.

It's a very athletic delivery for Kruzan. His pitch mix is built around his four-seam fastball. He gets around 7 feet of extension and sits in the low to mid-90s on it with solid carry. He will also mix in a curveball, slider, and splitter. There are some similarities to the John Holobetz and Tyson Hardin picks from 2024 here. If the secondaries can be cleaned up a bit, he could be a starter option. Brewers fans who follow the draft know that Ginger Poulson has a tendency to cook in rounds 11-20, and this is the first pick from her territory, though it isn't her last.

Round 13, Pick 401: OF Carson Hart -- Mankato East HS (MN) -- Creighton Commit

Hart is also from Poulson's territory. He's a premium athlete in the outfield and was recently clocked at a ridiculous 6.28-second 60-yard dash at a Prep Baseball event. It's plus-plus speed, with the potential for really good outfield defense as well. The offensive side of the ball is very intriguing, too.

He has a short swing, but his exit velocities have been creeping up of late, and at 17, there is some untapped power still coming down the line. On top of that, there's potential for an above-average hit tool already, with good bat-to-ball skills and a line drive approach, though he didn't tear up his competition to the extent you might expect this spring.

Hart is a Creighton commit and will likely be the first of the 11-20 picks to command a bonus over $150,000. If they can bring him in, he will bring an exciting brand of baseball to pro ball.

Round 14, Pick 431: LHP Daunte Bell II -- Millikan HS (CA) -- Houston Commit

Bell is a very projectable left-handed pitcher out of California, committed to Houston for college. He sits in the mid-to-upper 80s right now and has touched 91 MPH in games. The fastball has late life, however, and he mixes in a five-pitch mix from a funky arm angle. He'll throw a cutter, a bigger slider, and a curveball, and he shows pretty good feel for a changeup as well.

Standing 6'3 and only weighing 175 pounds, Bell has a ton of room left to put on weight. There is a lot of low-hanging, untapped velocity potential that could be uncovered just from a professional lifting routine and eating well. It's hard to say how signable Bell will be, but the potential is undeniable.

Round 15, Pick 461: RHP Keaton Maiorana -- Mountain Vista HS (CO) -- Minnesota Commit

Maiorana is an under-the-radar high school arm out of Colorado. He was ranked as the number 43 player in the state by Prep Baseball, but he was up to 95.5 MPH in February of 2025, which means there might already be more in there. He tinkered with his curveball and turned it into more of a sweeper in the upper-70s. He spins it extremely well, breaking 3000 RPMs at times. He showed a little bit of feel for a changeup, though it blended with the fastball shape a bit. The fastball shape itself is somewhat dead-zone, so the Brewers would likely tinker with the shape if they are able to sign him.

He flipped his commitment from UNLV to Minnesota about a month ago, and it's unclear if he is signable or not. He's an up-arrow prospect this spring who could benefit from going to school, but the Brewers certainly will be hoping to bring him in before he blows up.
