  1. Mize at 1, Bart at 2, Bohm at 3. Draft going as expected with multiple four letter last names off of the board.
  2. Yah, not a huge fan of Larnach at 21. He needs to hit to have any value at the big league level, and there are some questions about his pitch recognition. Also doesn't really fit into the Brewers' MO of up the middle athletes.
  3. I'd still take Hiura. Adell is fascinating, but still has a much higher chance to flame out at some point. Given that Hiura is still more of a sure thing, and a really good sure thing at that, the pick is the same.
  4. I'll go with Noah Naylor.
  5. My guess is Segovia up or Grisham down. Orimoloye has had a really rough past couple of weeks.
  6. https://2080baseball.com/2018/06/2018-mlb-mock-draft-final/ 2080 Baseball has the Brewers taking Jordyn Adams.
  7. OF Carlos Belonis has been released from the Mudcats' roster.
  8. If it's the same as last year, 4 minutes between picks in the first round and then 1 minute for rounds 2-10. The last BA mock draft has the Brewers taking Swaggerty.
  9. Here is my final aggregate draft prospect ranking. This includes data from 13 different sources, both public and behind paywall, including Perfect Game, Baseball America, Prep Baseball Report, MLB Pipeline and more. I do not include the individual rankings due to the paywalls. Only one mock draft is used, each of the other 12 are pure rankings. For the Perfect Game and Baseball America lists, I stopped at 200 in order not to distort the top end of the rankings. This list is updated through this morning. "High Rank" refers to the highest ranking given to the player by any of the 13 sources. Brewers picks are bolded.

  10. Also, Cadyn Grenier of Oregon State was good enough to push Nick Madrigal to 2B full time and he can hit a little, too. I'd be happy with him at 60 or 73 as well.
  11. I really like Osiris Johnson, high schooler out in California. Can pick it in the dirt and also happens to be one of the youngest players in the draft. Doesn't turn 18 until November, I think. Would be more than fine with him at 60 or 73.

  15. ROUND 40 (1205th overall): Wes Clarke, C (Photo: John Whittle) Height: 6'3 Weight: 200 B/T: R/R School: Liberty Christian Academy (VA) Year: HS Senior Hometown: Forest, VA DOB: 10/13/99 SCOUTING REPORT: Perfect Game: Clarke popped up on the draft radar this spring as an extremely physical, very athletic prospect with some power in his righthanded bat. He's a catcher now and is expected to continue behind the plate at South Carolina, but some scouts are wary of his below average arm strength and are therefore hesitant to project him behind the plate at the professional level. He does have the athleticism to potentially play the outfield, though the arm strength would likely limit him to left field. There is pretty significant power from the right side as well, and while the bat is raw now, the hope is that he'll develop as a hitter to where the power will play frequently in games. Prep Baseball Report: Clarke is 6-3 with a projectable athletic frame that he can still add to. Hits from the right side from an athletic stance, short leg kick stride on line, smooth load back, good rhythm to his swing. Explosive hips and good balance to swing. Quick hands, quick to ball, works uphill through it with good extension. Has a line drive swing with a lot of power potential, ball carries well, showed ability to use who field in BP, slight pull approach in game, exit velocity was 94. Behind the plate, sways quietly, soft hands receiving, presents a very good strike, quick into his blocks. Quick, clean exchange, throws from a high three-quarters arm slot, short loose arm action, yanks head some at release. Pop times were 1.94-2.01 and position velocity was 78, showed some accuracy with his throws. Home to first was 4.56. LINKS:
  16. ROUND 39 (1175th overall): Caleb Marquez, C (Photo: Prep Baseball Report) Height: 6'3 Weight: 240 B/T: R/R School: Blue Springs HS (MO) Year: HS Senior Hometown: DOB: 12/22/99 SCOUTING REPORT: Baseball America: Marquez is also a football prospect as a tight end. He's an athletic catcher who needs plenty of reps behind the plate, but has above-average athleticism for the position. LINKS: A dream realized: Wildcats’ Marquez finally has name called in MLB Draft
  17. ROUND 38 (1145th overall): Aidan Maldonado, RHP (Photo: Prep Baseball Report) Height: 6'0 Weight: 170 B/T: R/R School: Rosemount HS (MN) Year: HS Senior Hometown: Rosemount, MN DOB: 5/27/00 SCOUTING REPORT: Perfect Game: A bit of a lesser-known prospect who plays his high school ball in a state where the snow didn't completely melt until early May in some parts, Maldonado has some serious arm speed with big-time velocity projection. There is a pretty fair amount of reliever risk with Maldonado thanks to command concerns and a delivery that has some visible effort, but the righthander has touched as high as 96 mph this spring, and with his combination of arm speed and physical projection, scouts believe he will throw even harder. His off-speed stuff is raw but shows promise at times. Baseball America: Maldonado popped up onto the national scouting scene with an impressive performance at the World Wood Bat Championships in Jupiter last October. In that short stint, Maldonado showed a 91-95 mph fastball and a two-plane power curve breaking ball that flashed above-average. Both pitches came from a fast, live arm. The arm strength has been there this spring as well, but he’s been more hittable than scouts would like and evaluators aren’t enamored with his delivery. The Illinois signee could still end up getting some money in the draft, but it’s more likely to come from a team drafting him on day three. LINKS:
  18. ROUND 37 (1115th overall): Franklin Hernandez, RHP http://cdnak1.psbin.com/img/mw=160/mh=210/cr=n/d=5w7q0/kawaqgmga4xeck3y.jpg (Photo: College of Central Florida) Height: 6'0 Weight: 175 B/T: R/R School: Central Florida Year: JC Sophomore Hometown: Nagua, DR DOB: 10/29/95 SCOUTING REPORT: ScoutcastBB: FR RHP Franklin Hernandez (Dominican Republic) has been a pleasant surprise for @cfpats. Up to 92.4 in this Intrasquad, and has recently climbed to 96 w/ 2400+ spin and 2650 spin on the CB. LINKS:
  19. ROUND 36 (1085th overall): Brandon Williamson, LHP http://cdnak1.psbin.com/img/mw=400/cr=n/d=q03ok/lu46e91nuiqxhbc1.jpg (Photo: North Iowa Area CC) Height: 6'6 Weight: 205 B/T: L/L School: North Iowa Area CC Year: JC Sophomore Hometown: Welcome, MN DOB: 4/2/98 SCOUTING REPORT: Perfect Game: Williamson first popped up on our radar back in the early fall, when he was brought up in discussions for the JUCO top prospects list as a long, lanky lefthander who could touch 90-91 mph. Fast forward to now and he's a more physical, still-projectable lefty who has touched as high as 95-96 mph. Williamson was very good for NIACC this year, with an 8-4 record across 66 innings with a 3.14 ERA, striking out 104 hitters and walking 34. There's a lot to like about the ingredients here, though Williamson is still very raw and has a long way to go. He controls his body well enough and scouts are optimistic that he may have average command in the end; the arm is very fast, and there is even some room to continue filling out, which may give him another velo bump. While he has touched the mid-90s, he usually sits in the 90-93 mph range, and the slider – while flashing above average – is usually a fringy pitch right now. He's committed to TCU where pitching coach Kirk Saarloos has a track record of turning raw materials into giants, but Williamson is anything but a sure bet to make it to campus in Fort Worth. Baseball America: An athletic, 6-foot-5 lefty, Williamson got off to a terrible start to his sophomore season at NIACC. A month into the season he had a 5.89 ERA and was allowing two baserunners per inning. But since late March, he posted a 2.08 ERA with 1.2 baserunners per inning and 15.5 strikeouts per nine innings. Williamson boasts a varied repertoire as he'll mix a 90-95 mph fastball, a pair of average breaking balls and a less-developed, but potentially average, changeup. His slider shows signs of developing into an above-average pitch down the road. Williamson's below-average control will have to improve, but there's nothing in his delivery that would indicate continued control issues. His delivery is fluid and his arm path is relatively clean. Williamson is a Texas Christian signee, but he could be taken early enough on day two to convince him to forgo another year of college ball. LINKS:
  20. ROUND 35 (1055th overall): Josh Watson, OF (Photo: Twitter) Height: 5'11 Weight: 195 B/T: S/R School: TCU Year: 4YR Junior Hometown: Arlington, TX DOB: 0/10/96 SCOUTING REPORT: Perfect Game: In what has been a very tough year for TCU, especially from an injury perspective, Watson was one of the bright spots from a production standpoint. The junior outfielder slashed .305/.437/.495 with 10 doubles, three triples and eight home runs, adding in eight stolen bases and a great deal of walks. He swings and misses a bit too much with a relatively elevated strikeout rate, but has shown improvement in that regard this season. He has some pretty legitimate raw power from the right side of the plate and scouts are pleased with the swing adjustments he made coming into the season, which has allowed for him to get to that power in game more frequently. The swing-and-miss is a concern but he does have a very quality approach and is able to work his share of walks. He's likely a left fielder long term, which puts more emphasis on how his bat is expected to develop at the next level. Baseball America: Watson had one of the better freshman seasons in the country, as he hit .280/.398/.506 for the Horned Frogs and was equally impressive that summer at the Cape Cod League. He then suffered through a significant sophomore slump as he seemed to lose confidence at the plate. He's bounced back as a junior, showing more fluid hands and a looser swing. Watson was hitting .320/.453/.534 in mid-May. He has a chance to be an above-average hitter, but he doesn't show the at-least average power scouts are looking for in a left fielder. LINKS:

  23. ROUND 32 (965th overall): Jonny Cuevas, 3B (Photo: Desert Sun) Height: 6'1 Weight: 195 B/T: R/R School: Palm Desert HS Year: HS Senior Hometown: Indio, CA DOB: 11/20/00 SCOUTING REPORT: Baseball America: Cuevas served as the No. 2 starter behind Jeremiah Estrada on the Palm Desert (Calif.) High team that made the CIF-Southern Section Division 2 title game in 2017. With Estrada gone after being drafted by the Cubs in the sixth round, Cuevas stepped into the spotlight and went 5-3, 2.11 on the mound and hit .452 to lead the Aztecs to their 10th straight league title. Cuevas is more experienced at third base, but on the mound is where pro teams want him. A 6-foot-1, 200-pound righthander, Cuevas brings premium arm strength with a fastball up to 93 mph and evaluators think there is more velocity to come as he gains experience and cleans up his raw mechanics. He also shows feel to spin a promising slider. Cuevas began moving up draft boards late, with most teams viewing him as a day-three selection. He is committed to Southern California.

  25. ROUND 30 (905th overall): Basilio Pacheco, LHP (Photo: Steven Georges) Height: 6'0 Weight: 150 B/T: L/L School: Segerstrom HS (CA) Year: HS Senior Hometown: Santa Ana, CA DOB: 5/26/00 SCOUTING REPORT: Prep Baseball Report: Long Beach State commit, 6'1, 170LB lefty, with a well-proportioned, medium sized frame, high waist, long wingspan, and projects to put on muscle and overall strength as he matures. Pacheco displays proper mechanics, with a ¾ arm slot, and a smooth, easy arm-action. He features a 2-seam, cutting FB sitting 85-88, touching 91. CB is slurvy, with 2-to-7 break, but effective at 72-74. CH is developing with some fade action at 79-81. Pacheco is an athlete that can get off the mound and field his position. He tends to pull his head to his glove side on the delivery, spins off and loses command of his pitches. However, FB plays up because it's deceptive, and jumps through the strike zone. Pacheco is not a pure strike thrower; but with some minor adjustments in his delivery he will continue to develop. LINKS:
