Left-handed pitching is a highly valued commodity throughout baseball due to the overall lack of quality options. The Milwaukee Brewers have been notoriously short on southpaws over the years. So what can the Brewers do about this? They have to draft some lefty pitchers.
There are a number of lefties at the top of this draft that could be available when the ninth pick rolls around.
The farm system has only three lefty pitchers in the top 30 prospects list and one of them, Nathan Kirby, just underwent Tommy John surgery. So the Minor League system needs an infusion of talented left-handed pitchers.
