Baseball is a game full of unpredictability, and that extends to the MLB Draft, where even first-round picks are far from guaranteed success. The Milwaukee Brewers currently have three of their own recent first-round selections contributing at the major league level: Brice Turang, Sal Frelick, and Garrett Mitchell (currently sidelined with an injury). Still, like many teams, the Brewers have also seen their share of early picks who didn’t quite live up to expectations.
The Brewers have had mixed results with recent first-round picks. Corey Ray, taken fifth overall in 2016, never panned out. Keston Hiura, the ninth pick in 2017, had a brief flash of success before fading.
