The Milwaukee Brewers have been partial to taking players from Canada in the MLB Draft over the years, perhaps due to the connections of Doug Melvin and Gord Ash (who both remain as parts of the front office). They went north of the border again with their competitive balance round A selection in the 2021 MLB Draft, taking second baseman Tyler Black of Wright State University at #33 overall on Sunday night.
The FIRST selected in the 2021 #MLBDraft is 2B Tyler Black who goes to @Brewers with the 33rd pick overall out of @WSURaidergang!
