The pick is in and your newest Milwaukee Brewers prospect is:
Keston Hiura
Second Base, UC Irvine
6’0” 180 lbs.
Pre-draft rankings:
MLB.com: 22
Baseball America: 20
Minor League Ball: 15
MLB Pipeline Tool Grades:
Hit: 60 || Power: 50 || Run: 50 || Arm: 45 || Field: 45 || Overall: 50
Keston Hiura was ranked as the best college bat in the country coming in. While Hiura was given a 60 hit grade by MLB.com, many scouts gave him a 70.
The problem is he’s limited defensively and has an elbow injury that prevents him from throwing.
