Summary
- Brewers signed second-round pick Sawyer Strosnider for $2.1 million.
- Strosnider surpassed his draft slot value, indicating high prospect interest.
- Several other draftees, including CC Sabathia's son, have also signed.
The Milwaukee Brewers have successfully signed Sawyer Strosnider, their second-round pick from TCU, for a substantial $2.1 million bonus. This figure exceeds the slot value for the No. 66 overall selection, reflecting Strosnider's high prospect status. He was once projected as a first-round talent and ranked among the top draft prospects.
Strosnider, a 21-year-old outfielder, offers a compelling blend of power and speed, having achieved double-digit home runs, triples, doubles, and stolen bases in his sophomore season at TCU. The Brewers also announced signings for several other draftees, including Julian Garcia, Gavin Perry, Chance Ruby, Sam George, and Carsten Sabathia, the son of Hall of Famer CC Sabathia.
With these agreements, the Brewers have now signed nine of their first eleven draft picks. The team's vice president of amateur player acquisition expressed excitement over Strosnider's potential as a five-tool player and Garcia's strong curveball. The deadline for signing drafted players is approaching on Monday at 4 p.m. CT.
