  1. Appreciated! It could be interesting if this is another Mississippi state kind of thing, with a college struggling to get the most out of the talent in their rotation There's a big frame, room to grow and again and I really like the late fade on his changeup
  2. Yeah worded that slightly wrong, meant to say those two seasons were before this one. Would love to see pitch data on those seasons
  3. Andrew Healy is fascinating. He had a down year with Duke, but threw 83.1 innings of ball with a 3.01 ERA and 87 strikeouts to 24 walks in that time. 6'6, 200 lbs, mid 90's fastball with a sweeper and changeup
  4. Oh the fastball efficiency isn't great, and they can maybe utilise that spin rate better to get more ride out of the offering
  5. Pick 8 - Hayden Vucinovich 96.8 mph fastball with 2600 RPM's is legitimate. Strong, well built and likely in need of refining the delivery for consistency while the secondaries also need a little work, but the Brewers love that feel for spin He's a fastball/slider/changeup guy
  6. Jared Spencer is another currently injured arm to watch. College senior undergoing season ending shoulder surgery in April, but with some big gains in velocity on his fastball and slider making him one of the most effective pitchers in the league for Texas
  7. Ragsdale appears intriguing. There's a thought he may have more power than previously expected but the main production is coming from doubles and triples and that speed. Double plus, and great defense in center field. Likely peaking as a fourth outfielder
  8. Unlikely unless the Brewers offer him a ridiculously low value
  9. Not quite. There's a ton of potential power in there, but he's more of a projectable pick than a current performance pick. Solid tools across the board and the swing is delightfully pretty, oddly similar to Bitonti's with better zone coverage
  10. Big time He had a 36.1% strikeout rate and 5.6% walk rate over four starts/20 innings with a 3.15 ERA in 2025. Good feel for a 94-95 fastball, touching 97 mph Plus grades on a mid 80's slider, solid curveball Change up is a work in progress, a bit firm at the moment Creates a ton of spin, fitting right into the Brewers mold while throwing above average strikes
  11. Dickerson is gone to the Mariners 🥹
  12. Poor Spencer, it seems like half of his preferred picks are already off the board in rounds 4/5
  13. 392nd on Baseball America, up to 96 mph on the fastball alongside a 12-6 curveball. Reported to have some loud stuff, the high schooler has a commitment to Kentucky. The curveball is a plus pitch but he does struggle throwing strikes. Also has a fringe slider and changeup
  14. I'm still not fully sold on him, but we'll see! If anyone can make pure velocity into something more polished, it's the Brewers. There are rumours he'll cost several million minimum to peel away from College, and could be a tough sign
  15. Damn I missed that. Shame! Korbyn Dickerson is another fascinating, really toolsy player and in the OF no less. Could be a really nice fit, big big speed, big power potential (19 Homers in 2025) and strong center field defense
  16. Day two is here, and a lot of high school talent is still on the baord. Some may be expensive, but the Brewers may have saved # $1m in round one, perhaps more depending on the deal struck with Cairone who was taken ahead of expectations but is a HS arm. Personally, I would love to see Josh Owens come to the crew, I adore his swing, but there's a lot of other talent on the board including names like Cameron Appenzeller. Could the Brewers get into some bigger High School names early? What do you think their strategy is on day two? Most importantly, how many names will Ginger Poulson sign for the Crew?
  17. This year's draft will once again feature 20 rounds, albeit with a notable twist: it will last just two days, meaning a change to the existing format. Rounds one to three will be covered on day one, and rounds four through twenty will be squeezed into a long day two. After an eventful day one, prepare for more intrigue to come on day two. Marco Dinges was the Brewers' 4th round pick in 2024, while they have also snagged Tyson Hardin, Cooper Pratt, Bishop Letson, and more over the last two draft cycles in the fourth round onwards. Where Can I Watch Day Two Of The 2025 MLB Draft? Day One begins at 11.30 a.m. Eastern Time and can be viewed on MLB.com, MLB Network, and ESPN How Many Picks Do The Brewers Have on Day Two of The 2025 MLB Draft? The Milwaukee Brewers have 17 picks in rounds four through twenty of the MLB Draft, selecting with the 125th, 155th, 185th, 215th, 245th, 275th, 305th, 335th, 365th, 395th, 425th, 455th, 485th, 515th, 545th, 575th, and 605th picks of the draft. What Is The Milwaukee Brewers' Bonus Pool in The 2025 MLB Draft? The Brewers have $13,138,100 in their slot value for the draft, which, despite trading the 32nd pick to the Boston Red Sox in the Quinn Priester trade, leaves them with the 10th largest bonus pool overall. How Can I Keep Up To Date With The Milwaukee Brewers Draft Picks? We have our very own draft tracker that we will endeavor to update as quickly as possible with news of each selection, not only through the draft but also through the entire signing period, so make sure to come back for updates! There will be lots going on on what should be a hectic night for the Milwaukee Brewers. Having shown a penchant for left-field selections and high upside talent in recent drafts, it promises to be an exciting evening, and we will try to make updates to the story (and add links) as things happen, so keep refreshing!

  19. So I had a chat about Frank Cairone and his progress with Baseball Performance Centre this morning and here's what they said about his growth in the last year "He’s made big improvements over the last year, going from around 90 to touching 95. Worked on his initial move in the delivery and staying stacked longer in the throw. On the data side, worked to add VeLo to his Sweeper that got up to 82 with 15 sweep at 3000 RPMs. Added a cutter at 85-86 and refining the CH currently. Strike throwing machine with unique release characteristics and 7+ FT of extension. Kids really good"
  20. I'm sure he'll get a shot there but the lack of speed/mobility does concern me a little. There's potential for those to improve and he becomes passable over there, like Brock Wilken appears to be, but I'd say there's a strong chance if he reaches the majors that he won't be manning the hot corner. Obviously a far better situation if he can however!
  21. Image courtesy of MLB The Milwaukee Brewers selected Brady Ebel with the 32nd Pick of the 2025 MLB Draft. Ebel is a shortstop from Corona, California. The slot value for this pick is $2,970,900, and Ebel was ranked 60th on our MLB Draft Consensus Board. A lefty bat on the infield, Ebel is an LSU commit. Here's what our writeup of Ebel by Jamie Cameron stated before the draft: What do you think of the pick? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! View full article
