Lutz was selected 34th overall out of James Martin Senior High School in Arlington, Texas. By signing this deal with the Milwaukee Brewers, he is turning down the offer to go to the University of Texas.
The team was able to sign their first round pick Keston Hiura for half a million dollars under pick value. That money went into inking Lutz, as he signs for $2,352,000. For the slot he was selected, the value was set at $1,983,600. All predictions say the money is well worth it.
Milwaukee’s newest member is an outfielder who bats from the right side.
