In 2007, the Milwaukee Brewers signed 32 of the 46 players they drafted. Of the unsigned players, only left-hander Chad Bell enjoyed a cup of coffee in the Major Leagues. All of the Brewers first four draft picks played at least one game at baseball’s highest level.
Who made it to the Majors?
The Milwaukee Brewers started their 2017 draft by taking first baseman Matt LaPorta seventh overall out of the University of Florida. LaPorta looked like a ‘can’t miss bat’ ahead of the draft. He actually did miss.
LaPorta never played for the Brewers.
