The Milwaukee Brewers selected 16 players over the course of Day 2 of the MLB Draft, giving them a total of 20 players in their 2026 draft class. The Brewers once again stuck to the strategy that's proven to be successful in recent years, which involves them drafting under-slot players in the early rounds of the draft, and using the money they saved to sign many of the more expensive high school draft picks that they take in the later rounds of the draft.
For a complete rundown of the Brewers' picks from Day 1 or their first six picks from Day 2 of the 2026 MLB Draft, be sure to check out the breakdowns linked below.

Complete breakdown of Brewers' first 6 Day 2 draft picks
Here, we take a look at the final 10 picks of the Brewers' 2026 draft class, which includes the typical run of high school players during the middle- to late-rounds of the draft, and the heavy late-round skew towards pitchers. The Brewers, however, saved their most fun selection for the final round of the draft.
Complete breakdown of the Brewers' final 10 picks from the 2026 MLB Draft
Round 11 (341st overall pick) -- RHP Gavin Perry, Western Kentucky University
Right-handed pitcher Gavin Perry began his collegiate career with two seasons at San Diego Christian College, an NAIA school. Perry posted a pair of lackluster stat lines in those two seasons before joining Eastern New Mexico University, an NCAA Division II school, for his junior season. He posted a 5.00 ERA in 12 starts, but earned an opportunity to move up to Division I the following year, joining Western Kentucky for the 2025 season.
At Western Kentucky, Perry hit his stride. The 6'5" starter posted a 2.80 ERA in 45 innings in 2025, and followed it up with a 3.89 ERA in 85.2 innings as the team's ace during the 2026 campaign. Perry already sits in the mid-90s with his fastball. As a five-year college player, Perry likely won't command a huge signing bonus to join the Brewers' farm system.

Round 12 (371st overall pick) -- RHP Marcus Kruzan, University of Minnesota
The Brewers once again went with a college arm in the 12th round, selecting right-hander Marucs Kruzan out of the University of Minnesota. Kruzan is a Wisconsin native, who attended Ashland High School before heading west for his collegiate career. His first two seasons of college ball came at the University of St. Thomas, before Kruzan joined the Minnesota Gophers for his junior season.
The 6'2" Kruzan made 14 appearances for the Gophers in 2026, 12 of which came as a starting pitcher, and covered 52.2 innings. He posted a 4.10 ERA, a 1.08 WHIP, and collected 54 strikeouts during the campaign. As seen in the video below, he has a good feel for his secondary offerings and should join the Brewers with a modest signing bonus.

Round 13 (401st overall pick) -- OF Carson Hart, Mankato East HS (MN)
The Brewers stuck in the midwest for their 13th-round pick, selecting left-handed outfielder Carson Hart out of Mankato East HS in Minnesota. The 6'2" Hart is lightning quick, as evidenced by the 6.28-second 60-yard dash he ran a year ago and the fact that he holds the record for the most stolen bases in school history at Mankato East.
He has quick hands from the left side of the plate and a projectable frame that suggests he will grow into more power as he develops in the minor leagues. The Brewers often bet on "athletes" in the MLB draft, and they are once again doing so with Hart. The high school outfielder is committed to Creighton University, but the Brewers should have the money to lure him away with a sizable signing bonus.

Round 14 (431st overall pick) -- LHP Daunte Bell II, Millikan HS (CA)
The Brewers went with another high schooler in the 14th round, drafting 18-year-old southpaw Daunte Bell II, out of Millikan HS in Long Beach, CA. Bell is an intriguing arm, one who already possesses a four-pitch mix. His fastball isn't overpowering, but standing at 6'3", there's belief that Bell can add more velocity as he develops in the minor leagues.
Bell pairs his low-90s fastball with a collection of strong secondary offerings. With a slight crossfire delivery, the southpaw can throw a changeup, cutter, slider, and curveball, encouraging draft experts that he will be able to stick as a starter as he develops. Bell is committed to the University of Houston and will take a decent signing bonus to be lured away from that commitment. Should the Brewers be able to sign Bell, they will be adding a very intriguing arm to their farm system.
Daunte Bell II (‘26) 6’3/175 out of Millikan HS worked a complete game 7IP, allowed 3H BB 9Ks. The @UHCougarBB commit ran the FB to 90 mph, injected a cutter 84-86, mixed in a CB/SL combo 75/90 & dropped in a solid CH 80-84. Lots to like here with big time upside. #PGHS… pic.twitter.com/fRGzQsxV5J

Round 15 (461st overall pick) -- RHP Keaton Maiorana, Mountain Vista HS (CO)
The Brewers made it three consecutive high school selections by taking right-handed pitcher Keaton Maiorana out of Mountain Vista HS in Highlands Ranch, CO, with their 15th round pick. The 6'5" Maiorana has topped out at 96 mph with his fastball but could certainly add even more velocity as he fills out his frame. He generates plenty of extension on the mound and pairs his fastball with a nasty slider that has eclipsed 3,000 rpm.
He absolutely dominated his competition in high school and holds a commitment to play college ball at the University of Minnesota. Maiorana could develop into a Day 1 talent with more refinement to his arsenal, which could make him difficult for the Brewers to sign, but it's exciting to think about what Maiorana could turn into in Milwaukee's minor league system, which is renowned for its ability to develop pitching.

Round 16 (491st overall pick) -- RHP Bradyn Havard, George County HS (MS)
Milwaukee's run of high school players continued in the 16th round, as they selected right-hander Bradyn Havard out of George County HS in Lucedale, MS. Havard, who stands at 6'2", dominated his high school competition during his senior year, posting a 1.30 ERA with 134 strikeouts in 75.1 innings pitched.
Havard currently hovers around 90 mph with his fastball, which he pairs with a strong slider. The high school pitcher also has a curveball and a changeup in his repertoire. Havard is currently committed to start his collegiate career at Pearl River Community College, a JUCO in Poplarville, Mississippi.
Bradyn Havard (‘26 MS) came out sitting in the upper 80’s touching a 90. Has settled in, in the mid 80’s. SL shows arm speed at 77 mph. Has flashed CH and CB as well. #PRCC commit #WWBAEast pic.twitter.com/Hff75FX8Nt

Round 17 (521st overall pick) -- SS Chance Ruby, Wilmot Union HS (WI)
The Brewers not only drafted their fifth-consecutive high schooler in the 17th round, but they also selected their second Wisconsin native of the 2026 MLB Draft, taking SS Chance Ruby out of Wilmot Union HS in Wilmot, WI. Ruby, who stands at exactly six feet tall, is an excellent athlete, with a 6.50-second 60-yard dash time to prove it.
He has plenty of power potential, as evidenced by the strong exit velocities that he posted throughout his senior season, but a change in approach could result in more in-game power. Additionally, after being clocked throwing 92 mph across the diamond, Ruby certainly has the arm to stick at shortstop going forward. Ruby is committed to the University of Illinois-Chicago, and would likely require a decent signing bonus to join the Brewers' organization.

Round 18 (551st overall pick) -- RHP Brady Smith, East Carter County HS (MO)
The Brewers' streak of high school draft picks continued in the 18th round, as Milwaukee selected right-hander Brady Smith out of East Carter County High School. Smith, who stands at 6'1", sat in the 92-93 mph range with his fastball at a showcase four months ago. In that same performance, he featured a sharp mid-80s slider and a changeup with plenty of run.
Smith is committed to play college ball at Wichita State next year, and could significantly raise his draft position with a few seasons under the guidance of a college coaching staff. As a result, if the Brewers want that development process to occur in their farm system, they will likely need to offer Smith a significant signing bonus.

Round 19 (581st overall pick) -- LHP Sam George, Minnesota State University, Mankato
Left-hander Sam George, who broke the Brewers' six-round stretch of high school selections, agreed to transfer to the University of Iowa from Minnesota State Mankato after the 2026 season, which represents a jump from Division II to Division I. However, 21-year-old George will now have to decide whether he wants to honor that commitment or join the Brewers' farm system.
George, a 6'4" southpaw, was excellent at Minnesota State, turning in a 3.53 ERA in 41 total appearances, 31 of which were starts, over the last three years. He struck out 167 batters in 165.2 innings pitched and was twice named to the All-NSIC First Team. George would be an excellent addition to the Brewers' farm system, and likely wouldn't require too crazy of a signing bonus.
Round 20 (611th overall pick) -- 1B Carsten Sabathia III, Unviersity of Houston
Perhaps the most exciting pick of the draft for Milwaukee fans, 20th rounder Carsten Sabathia III is the oldest son of Brewers legend CC Sabathia. However, Carsten is not a left-handed starting pitcher like his father. Rather, he's a right-handed hitting first baseman who has plenty of power potential.
Standing at 6'4", Sabathia has produced impressive exit velocities during his time at Houston and in the MLB Draft League, but he doesn't yet have the gaudy home run numbers to accompany it. If he learns to elevate the ball a bit more, there's some serious potential to dream on in Sabathia's offensive profile. Coming from a baseball family, with a father who was among the best competitors the sport has ever seen, Carsten Sabathia is an exciting addition to the Brewers' organization.
