Brewers Shake Things Up in MLB Draft with Brock Wilken Selection
The Milwaukee Brewers surprised everyone by deviating from their usual draft strategy and addressing their top needs in the 2023 MLB Draft. Instead of prioritizing up the middle college athletes, they selected corner infielders and a high-upside pitcher. Their first pick, Brock Wilken, brings power to the team, while Josh Knoth adds potential as a high school pitcher. In the second round, they chose Mike Boeve, a contact hitter with little home run power. Although this new approach is a departure from their previous philosophy, the Brewers successfully addressed their organizational needs. Only time will tell if this draft strategy will pay off.
