The Milwaukee Brewers drafted Ethan Small 28th overall in the 2019 draft because he would sign below slot, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t supremely talented. Small only spent a few weeks at Rookie Ball, and appears to be doing the same at Single-A. How far can he advance, and when will he arrive?
How has Small performed?
Small’s Rookie Ball career lasted all of two starts and three innings. He struck out five of the nine batters he faced, and didn’t allow a hit or a walk. Coaches had seen enough, and he earned a promotion to Single-A.
