Instead of a full 40 round draft this year, MLB is going forward with a five round draft, cutting the number of drafted players by more than 87%. It’s terrible for both amateur players and player development pipelines, but it’s the situation we have.
With just five rounds this year, we’re going to take a crack at projecting each Milwaukee Brewers draft pick.
The Brewers have selections at 20, 53, 92, 122, and 152 overall. Originally, the Brewers also held the 64th overall pick, which was in Competitive Balance Round B, but traded that pick to the Mariners in the Omar Narvaez trade.
