Brewer Fanatic 2022 Draft Coverage, April 7

For draft lovers, this week is going to be a focus on just a couple pieces of information that came out since our last update. Last Friday, Baseball America published its second mock draft of the spring. If you recall (or to save you from checking), they mocked the Brewers selecting Jordan Sprinkle, a shortstop from UC-Santa Barbara in their debut version.  Sprinkle has fallen out of their current projection.

Version 2.0 now has the Brewers selecting Gabriel Hughes, a right-handed pitcher from Gonzaga. Hughes is a big-bodied, hard-thrower from the west coast. Sound familiar? The Brewers had success going down that avenue with Corbin Burnes in 2016.

Here's more on Hughes:

Keith Law posted some scouting notes earlier this week at The Athletic. Law, who spent time in the Blue Jays front office, is a great follow for draft nerds. His scouting opinions and rankings oftentimes don't line up with others in the industry. Sometimes he hits. Sometimes he misses. But his takes are always his own and he'll wear them. 

Though he profiles a handful of guys, none - in his opinion - are likely to come off the board in the latter parts of the first round, so I'll save you from reading about anyone specifically, but definitely direct you to his piece if you're at all interested.

Jumping into my Top 10 this week are two new names: 

• Jackson Holliday, a prep shortstop from Oklahoma who’s committed to Oklahoma State. He’s the son of Matt Holliday, who coaches at Oklahoma State under head coach Robin Ventura. . 
• Daniel Susac, a catcher from Arizona. Jamie Cameron did a great job introducing him in his college baseball notebook earlier this week.
