Complete breakdown of Brewers' rounds 5-10 selections in 2026 MLB Draft

Day 2 of the 2026 MLB Draft is in full swing. After making four selections on Day 1, highlighted by first-round pick Trey Ebel, a high school shortstop out of Corona HS in Corona, California, the Milwaukee Brewers have now added six more names to their 2026 draft class as the 10th round came to an end just moments ago. A full breakdown of the Brewers' Day 1 picks can be found at the link below.

Complete Breakdown of Brewers' 2026 Day 1 draft picks

The Brewers will still make 10 more selections this afternoon, but let's first take a look at Milwaukee's rounds 5-10 picks, which unsurprisingly consisted mostly of pitchers. In recent years, the Brewers have adopted a strategy of taking position players early in the draft and using their middle- to late-round picks for high school and college arms. Here's a full breakdown of the six players that the Brewers have drafted so far today.

Complete breakdown of Brewers first six picks on Day 2 of the MLB Draft

Round 5 (163rd overall pick) -- RHP Aidan Knaak, Clemson University

Right-hander Aidan Knaak dominated during his first two years at Clemson University, eclipsing the 1000strikeout mark and posting a 1.15 WHIP or lower in each season. As a result, he earned All-ACC honors in each of his first two collegiate campaigns. However, Knaak took a step back in his junior season, as evidenced by the 5.81 ERA he posted in 13 starts.

As noted by MLB Pipeline, Knaak's lack of an effective breaking ball caught up to him during the 2026 season. While he has an excellent changeup and good command of his low- to mid-90s fastball, Knaak will certainly need to improve on his breaking stuff to be successful in pro ball. The 21-year-old Knaak, known for his competitive nature, should be an under-slot signing for the Brewers in Round 5.

Round 6 (192nd overall pick) -- RHP Ryan Oshinskie, Brown University

Milwaukee went with another college arm for their sixth-round selection in the 2026 draft, taking right-hander Ryan Oshinskie out of Brown University. The soon-to-be 21-year-old Oshinskie missed the 2026 season due to injury, but was dominant in the Cape Cod League in the summer of 2025. In 28 innings on the Cape, Oshinskie posted a 1.93 ERA with 38 strikeouts and just seven walks.

Oshinskie was cited as one of Baseball America's underrated 2026 draft prospects back in September after his performance last summer. Peter Flaherty at Baseball America noted that Oshinskie's fastball was up to 95 mph with good ride in the Cape League, and that his changeup produced an eye-popping 42% chase rate. The 6'3" Oshinskie, who could certainly add velocity as he develops, rounds out his arsenal with two strong breaking balls -- a slow, looping curveball and a sharper slider. It's the second consecutive year the Brewers have taken an Ivy League pitcher, and like 2025 draft pick Sean Episcope out of Princeton, Oshinskie should sign an under-slot deal.

Round 7 (221st overall pick) -- RHP Grant Hill, Chelsea HS (AL)

Milwaukee once again went with a pitcher in round seven of the 2026 MLB Draft, though unlike the first two arms they selected on Day 2, right-hander Grant Hill is a prep arm rather than a college hurler. Hill wasn't on many draft experts' big boards, but the 17-year-old right-hander has some intriguing characteristics that make clear what the Brewers see in the young pitcher.

Hill is 6'4" and already can run his fastball up to 93 mph. His height suggests that there's more velocity to come as he continues to develop. Additionally, Hill already throws a slider and a changeup, both of which he's said to have a good feel for. Hill is committed to Grand Canyon University, but given the fact that Milwaukee drafted him much earlier than expected, he too should command a reasonable signing bonus to be added to the Brewers' farm system.

Round 8 (251st overall pick) -- 1B Kellan Tom, Corona del Sol HS (AZ)

The Brewers broke their string of four straight pitchers with their eighth-round selection in the 2026 draft, or did they? High schooler Kellan Tom was announced as a first baseman, but the 18-year-old was an impressive two-way player during his senior season at Corona del Sol HS in Tempe, AZ. In fact, Tom put together such an impressive season that he was named Prep Baseball's 2026 Arizona Player of the Year.

That said, the assumption is that the 6'2", 215 lb. Tom will focus on hitting in the minor leagues, where his already present eye-popping exit velocities should make him an exciting name to watch out for. Tom is an intriguing, albeit underrated addition to the Brewers' 2026 draft class, and one who may require an over-slot signing bonus to be lured away from his college commitment to Arizona State.

Round 9 (281st overall pick) -- INF/RHP Chase Mora, Texas State University

Like the Brewers' eighth-round pick, Milwaukee's ninth-rounder also has two-way-player potential. In fact, though he was announced as a pitcher, 22-year-old Chase Mora hardly pitched during his time at Texas State University; he made just two appearances and covered 1.1 innings, but Mora clocked in at 92 mph with his fastball at a showcase back in high school, so there's real potential there.

As a position player, Mora slugged 42 homers in 227 games during his four-year career at Texas State while playing all four infield positions at various points. He holds a career college slash line of .271/.338/.485, but showed an elevated strikeout rate during his senior season. It will be interesting to see what the Brewers' plan is with the versatile Mora, but at 22 years old and with a four-year college career behind him, he should sign for well below the $202.5k value of the 281st pick.

Round 10 (311th overall pick) -- RHP Andrew Gaines, St. Joseph's University

The Brewers went with another college senior in the tenth round of the 2026 MLB Draft, taking right-hander Andrew Gaines out of Saint Joseph's University. Gaines began his collegiate career at Iona, but after two tough seasons with the Gaels, he transferred to the University of Pittsburgh. At Pitt, Gaines earned 12 relief opportunities, but in large part due to an elevated walk rate, he continued to struggle with a high ERA.

Prior to his senior season, the 6'5" Gaines transferred to Saint Joseph's, and impressed as the team's closer. He struck out 47 batters in 30.2 innings while earning 10 saves. He has a strong four-seam fastball that can reach the upper 90s, and pairs it with a sharp slider in the upper 80s and a slower looping curveball. It's certainly an intriguing arm for the Brewers, and as a four-year senior, Gaines should also command a below-slot signing bonus.
