Milwaukee Brewers Select Kyle Jones At 102nd Overall In 2026 MLB Draft

The Milwaukee Brewers selected Kyle Jones at pick No. 102 in the 2026 MLB Draft. Jones is a right-handed-hitting outfielder from the University of Florida. The slot value for the 102nd pick is $770,600. Jones was ranked No. 111 overall on our MLB Draft Consensus Board. In 2026, Jones slashed .317/.417/.478 with six home runs, 46 RBI, and 17 stolen bases.

Here's what Jamie Cameron, curator of our MLB Draft Consensus Board, said about Jones:

"Jones had one of the better collegiate seasons in the country in 2024 for Stetson, before transferring to Florida ahead of his sophomore campaign. Unfortunately, hamstring and shoulder injuries slowed him down, and he missed most of the season. Back in the Gators lineup with consistency in 2026, he's been a steady late riser on industry boards. Offensively, there's a solid all-around profile here. Jones has good bat-to-ball skill, backed by a good approach and solid swing decisions during his plate appearances. While it's been more doubles and gap power than over-the-fence power, Jones has some projection in a frame that's listed at 6'3, 180 pounds. Jones has strong supplementary tools, too. He's an above-average to plus runner who takes solid routes in the outfield that should allow him a shot to stick in center as a pro. He ended 2026 with a .317/.418/.478 line with 6 home runs (23 XBH), a 12% walk rate, a 16.4% strikeout rate (105 wRC+), and 17 steals in 21 attempts."

Milwaukee went with our No. 70 prospect in the first round, then our No. 19 prospect at in round two, making Jones the Brewers’ first choice that has gone approximately where he was projected. His base-running ability and defensive prowess give him a solid floor from which to build.

Jones is the first collegiate outfielder Milwaukee has taken in the first three rounds of an MLB Draft since Garrett Mitchell (UCLA) in 2020. Prior to Mitchell, the Brewers last selected a collegiate outfielder this early in 2016 (Corey Ray, Louisville, No. 5 overall).
