Brewers: Recent History Of The 20th Overall Pick In MLB Draft

It’s no secret that the MLB Draft is extremely hit-or-miss, even among first round selections. There’s no guarantee that a given first round pick will become an All-Star or even reach the big leagues. Generally, the earlier in the draft you are, the more likely you are to find a stud player. But sometimes the best players from a draft come from the latter part of the first round.

Take Christian Yelich for example. He was the 23rd overall selection in the 2010 Draft but has provided top 5 production numbers and has arguably been the best player from that class.
