  3. The Brewers were the first team to lose a player in the Rule 5 pick with RHP Shane Smith being selected by the White Sox. Was this a player they should have protected or will he be someone the White Sox send back down the road?

  13. Luis Lara is only 19 years old and maybe the next big outfield prospect out of the Brewers system behind Jackson Churio. He won't be rushed up from the Minors having spent all of 2024 in High-A, so how can he work on his swing-and-miss numbers to turn it into more contact? View full video

  19. Ten rounds down, ten rounds to go for the 2024 MLB Draft. It's been a life-changing event for 315 young men so far; there will be 300 more lives changed on Tuesday afternoon. Keep it tuned to Brewer Fanatic for live updates throughout the remainder of the draft. Today's portion of the draft, which will conclude with rounds 11 through 20, will begin at 1 p.m. CT. Keep up to date with the Brewers Draft Tracker. One reminder: players selected on Day 3 can sign for up to $150,000 without it impacting the team's bonus pool. Any dollars above that threshold will count toward the cap. For example, if a player today signs for $200k, it will count $50k toward the team's bonus pool. What do you think after the first two days? Leave your thoughts below. 11 (335) - Caedmon Parker, RHP, TCU 21 years old. 6-4, 190. Likely reliever. Returned from Tommy John surgery in 2024. 12 (365) - Tyson Hardin, RHP, Mississippi State 22 years old. 6-2, 185. (Senior) 13 (395) - Joey Broughton, LHP, Northville (MI) HS 18 years old. 6-2, 187. 14 (425) - James Nunnallee, C, Lightridge (VA) HS 18 years old. 6-0, 180. #146 on the Consensus Big Board Nunnallee is a prep hitter committed to Virginia who has seen time behind the plate and in the outfield. Nunnallee has a solid overall offensive tool set with a good approach and solid swing decisions. He has fast hands and his swing produces mostly gap power at present. This is an offensive profile with a solid floor that could produce average and power tools. Nunnallee is solid enough at catcher but there's work to do defensively if he's to stick behind the plate. There's enough in the offensive profile if he doesn't to play in the outfield. - Consensus Big Board 15 (455) - Travis Smith, RHP, Kentucky 21 years old. 6-4, 220. #250 on the Consensus Big Board One of Kentucky's top high school prospects in 2021, Smith's career was placed on hold when he required both Tommy John and heart surgery. After redshirting at Kentucky in 2022, he worked his way into the Wildcats' weekend rotation by the end of last season and threw four shutout innings in a regional playoff game against Ball State. He flashed top-three-rounds stuff this spring, though he missed a start with soreness in late March, worked out of the bullpen afterward and barely pitched in the final two months. Smith's two-seam fastball operates at 93-95 mph and tops out at 97, featuring heavy life that induces a lot of ground-ball contact. His high-spin slider parks at 85 mph and peaks at 89 with both horizontal and vertical action, and he also can turn it into a low-90s cutter. He's still developing feel for a sinking changeup that's too firm in the upper 80s. As he puts his elbow reconstruction further behind him, Smith has improved his strength and conditioning and now carries 220 pounds on his 6-foot-4 frame. He's also showing more aptitude for locating and sequencing his pitches. If he stays on track toward developing two plus offerings and average control, he could be a mid-rotation starter. - MLB.com 16 (485) - Jayden Dubanewicz, RHP, Marjory Stoneman Douglas (FL) HS 18 years old. 6-3, 160. 17 (515) - Cooper Malamazian, SS, Nazareth Academy (IL) 18 years old. 6-1, 185. 18 (545) - Tyler Renz, RHP, Fox Lane (NY) HS 17 years old. 6-4, 180. 19 (575) - Noah Wech, RHP, Manitowoc Lincoln (WI) HS 22 years old. 6-2. 205. 20 (605) - Henry Brummel, RHP, Pontiac Township (IL) HS 23 years old. 6-4, 202.

  21. This is true, but I think its more protection of a team failing a player on his physical. I'm curious if it actually something the team and player can negotiate around.
  22. The Brewers added four players on Sunday night and will add eight more on Monday. This article will be updated with each Brewers pick, so check back often. Today's portion of the draft, which will include rounds 3 through 10, will begin at 1 p.m. CT. Keep up to date with the Brewers Draft Tracker. A quick recap from yesterday: 1 (17) - Braylon Payne, OF, Elkins (TX) HS 17 years old. 6-2, 186. #56 on the Consensus Big Board Draft Article / Draft Tracker 1C (34) - Blake Burke, 1B, Tennessee 21 years old. 6-3, 236. #49 on the Consensus Big Board Draft Article / Draft Tracker 2 (51) - Bryce Meccage, RHP, The Pennington School (NJ) 18 years old. 6-4, 210. #63 on the Consensus Big Board Draft Article / Draft Tracker 2C (59) - Chris Levonas, RHP, Christian Brothers Academy (NJ) 18 years old. 6-2, 170. #79 on the Consensus Big Board Draft Article / Draft Tracker 3 (93) - Jaron DeBerry, RHP, Dallas Baptist 21 years old. 6-3, 178. (Senior) 4 (123) - Marco Dinges, C, Florida State 20 years old. 6-0, 205. 5 (156) - John Holobetz, P, Old Dominion 21 years old. 6-3, 190. 6 (185) - Chandler Welch, RHP, Tulane 21 years old. 6-0, 100. 7 (215) - Mason Molina, LHP, Arkansas 21 years old. 6-2, 230. #218 on the Consensus Big Board Molina spent his first two college seasons at Texas Tech and was the Red Raiders' top starter in 2023. After attending the U.S. collegiate national team trials that summer, he transferred to Arkansas. He pitched well early in the season before an ankle injury and control issues limited his effectiveness down the stretch. Molina depends on the carry of his fastball and the effectiveness of his changeup. Though he only averages 90 mph and tops out at 95 with his heater, he throws it two-thirds of the time and gets swings and misses thanks to its carry through the strike zone. His plus changeup grades as his best pitch, fading and sinking in the low 80s and helping his fastball play up. While Molina features two distinct breaking balls with depth, he has trouble landing his low-80s slider and mid-70s curveball for strikes and often misses badly with his curve. He threw more strikes at Texas Tech than he did this spring, and he'll need to do a better job of locating his offerings against pro hitters because he has little margin for error. His body got thicker this year, carrying 230 pounds on a 6-foot-2 frame, and he'll have to devote more time to conditioning. - MLB.com 8 (245) - Sam Garcia, LHP, Oklahoma State 22 years old. 6-4, 218.

  24. Thanks for catching that. Did everything on a spreadsheet to copy/paste and must have copied the wrong fields.
  25. This year’s draft will again feature just 20 rounds. Day 1, which begins tonight at 6 p.m. CT and can be viewed on ESPN and MLB Network, will include the first and second rounds as well as both competitive balance rounds and all compensation rounds. There will be 74 selections total. The Brewers will make four picks tonight, with the first one coming 17th overall in the first round. They will also draft 34th overall in the competitive balance round A (a pick acquired in the Corbin Burnes trade), 57th overal, and 67th overall (Competitive Balance Round B). We're excited to bring back the Brewers Draft Tracker which will be kept up-to-date not only during the draft but through the entire signing period. So keep coming back for updates! There will be a lot going on during the draft both on and off this website. We will try to make updates to the story (and add links) as things happen, so keep refreshing! Otherwise, there will be plenty of activity in the comments. This is the place to be tonight during the draft! Of course, we invite all of you to join us on tonight's livestream, which will run for the entirety of tonight's draft. The draft will continue tomorrow, Monday, with Round 3, beginning at 1 p.m. CT.
