Sorry, that was the #Brewers who got Burnes. I should have guessed. They've had the best draft of any team and I'm not sure it's close.

 

Wow!

 

I LOVE hearing this!!

Before the day started, Burnes was listed on top players on Day 2.

 

A 6-foot-3 right-hander, Burnes was 9-1 with a 2.23 ERA with 112 strikeouts in 97 innings for the Gaels. Though some in the scouting community have questioned if he'll be able to stick as a starter in the pros, he flashes a low-to-mid-90s fastball with a curveball that has been called elite by Baseball America's Hudson Belinsky. There's also a very good changeup in the arsenal. A possible cause for concern? He hit 14 batters in his 97 innings.

Bah, just means he's pitching inside. Seems like a Derek Johnson pick.

I'm OK with the Ray pick - I think there were better options, but not a bad pick - but I really, really like their other four picks.

After a day to think about it, the only pick I am not especially high on is Feliciano, and I really have no legitimate reason for that. Seems like the Brewers are drafting pretty well according to the professionals.

As a sophomore in 2015, Brown served as Kentucky's No. 1 starter ahead of eventual Twins second-rounder Kyle Cody. Brown pitched through the spring with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder, then took the summer off before impressing during fall practice. He has had a rough spring from a statistical standpoint, though scouts still like his stuff enough to project him as a starter and a possible second-round pick. The velocity on Brown's sinking fastball has climbed steadily, from the upper 80s as an Indiana high schooler, to the low 90s in his first two college seasons, to a consistent 93-94 mph that he holds deep into games and a high of 96 this spring. He has aptitude for spinning a hard curveball that's at least a plus pitch at its best but lacks consistency. Brown will also flash a changeup with some tumble and fade but Wildcats coaches seldom call for it during games. A 38th-round pick of the Cubs in 2013, Brown features a quick arm but he also has some effort to his delivery. That leads to concerns that he might not have more than average control and command, as well as whether he'll be able to maintain quality stuff over a full pro season as a starter.

Brewers continue to take name players, Brown struggled heavily this year. Had some first round talk, yet another UK arm to regress

 

JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 16s16 seconds ago

Scouts love Kentucky's Zack Brown. They want him to be good, but 2-11, 6.08 hard to explain with his great stuff.

 

Christopher Crawford ‏@CVCrawfordBP 35s36 seconds ago Coronado, CA

#Brewers get another solid value pick in Zack Brown. Plus-plus fastball, above-average curve. Reliever all the way for me, but a good one.

 

JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 25s26 seconds ago

Scouts complained Kentucky didn't let Zack Brown throw his changeup enough. CHG often disappeared from bullpen to mound.

 

Michael Lananna ‏@mlananna 22s23 seconds ago

Brown has electric stuff but went 2-11, 6.08 this spring as Kentucky's Friday starter. Probably ends up as a reliever.

#Brewers grab another power college arm in Zack Brown #Kentucky. 91-94 with life and flashes above average breaking ball
