The MLB Draft used to be three days long, with the third day covering rounds 11-20. However, this season, MLB decided to combine days two and three into one 17-round day. It makes for a hectic day for MLB front offices who used to have an entire night to regroup and reevaluate their position before round 11, but are now forced to have late-round strategy in place as the second day commences.
After taking a pitcher in five straight selections, spanning from the second round to the fifth (and including a compensation pick), the Milwaukee Brewers selected their third position player of the draft in the sixth round.
