MILWAUKEE — As a tour group gathered in the press box at American Family Field on Monday, the stadium guide looked down at the diamond and tried to identify the hitter in a Dodger blue T-shirt taking thunderous swings in an afternoon batting practice session.
“I’m not sure which player that is,” the tour guide said.
One knowledgeable Dodger fan in the group recognized it wasn’t a big-leaguer at all — at least not yet.
“That’s Dino Ebel’s son,” the fan said. “He’s gonna be a top draft pick next week.”
Brady Ebel might not be a household name yet around the sport but in Dodger circles, the rise of the Corona High infielder, and 17-year-old son of longtime third base coach Dino Ebel, has long been a proud organizational story in the making.
