Brewers' High School Draft Picks Shining

On April 29th, Milwaukee Brewers are crushing it with their bold draft strategy,

betting big on high school talent in the later rounds when most teams chase college guys.

Take Josh Adam Shewski, their 15th round pick from 2023,

number 452 overall out of Munster, Indiana. He signed for $250,000,

skipped Ball State, and now he's ranked as their 11th best prospect,

tearing it up for the Wisconsin Timber Ratlers.

This year, the Brewers lead baseball by drafting 12 high schoolers again,

and they've signed more prep players in rounds 11 through 20 than anyone since the draft shrank

to 20 rounds in 2021. Adam Shewski's batting 327 with five home runs and 14 RBI's in just 52

at-bats doubling his home or total from last seasons. 253 at-bats. Timber Ratlers manager Nick

Stanley says the organization gives chances to anyone who helps win, no matter their background

or prospect rank. Adam Shewski, a five foot 11 lefty, turning 21 on May 10th,

started at second base, but now thrives in left field, embracing that Swiss army.

Knife first utility, the Brewers love. He hit over 320 across rookie and low,

a levels last year despite an injury setback. To speed things up, he played in the Arizona fall

league after missing time with a sacriwileak issue. The Ratlers sit at 13 wins and seven losses,

one of the Midwest league's best records, and Adam Shewski loves grinding in that winning vibe.

Meanwhile, teammate Braylon Payne, their number 13 prospect in first rounder from 2024,

just snagged player of the week, honors nine for 20 with four homers and five games.

With the Brewers stacking talent like this, their farm systems firing on all cylinders,

setting up real firepower for Milwaukee down the line. Stay locked in with Milwaukee Brewers news
