Complete breakdown of Milwaukee Brewers' Day 2 2025 MLB Draft selections

The Milwaukee Brewers made 17 selections on day two of the MLB Draft. After seemingly saving a significant amount of bonus pool money on day one, the Brewers made several selections on day two that could be very difficult to sign without an overwhelming offer. Matt Arnold and company did sprinkle in some college players in the middle and later rounds of the draft, which generally saves the team money when it comes to signing bonuses, as those players don't have the same kind of options as a prep player committed to play college baseball at a major university.

Among the day two selections were 10 high schoolers, six college players, and one JUCO standout. The Crew took 11 pitchers and six position players on day two, bringing their draft total up to 14 and eight, respectively. Let's take a closer look at each of the 17 players that the Brewers selected on day two.

Round 4: RHP Josh Flores - Lake Central HS (IN)

Flores is an electric high school arm with a fastball that sits in the mid-90s and can touch 97 mph. He has a 60-grade curveball that has sharp downward movement and serves as his main secondary offering, but the 18-year-old also has the ability to throw both a slider and a changeup. He struggles with command due to a high-effort delivery, but the tools are there for a really strong starting pitcher.

Round 5: RHP Sean Episcope - Princeton University

Episcope has had an injury-riddled baseball career so far. After Tommy John surgery at the end of his high school career and an internal brace procedure in May, the 21-year-old right-hander saw his draft stock fall considerably, but if healthy he could have gone as high as the second round, according to MLB Pipeline. Velocity-wise, he can touch the upper-90s and, similar to Flores, he pairs it with a strong 12-6 curveball. If he can stay healthy, there's a lot to like in Episcope's profile, and it shouldn't take a big signing bonus to bring him into the organization.

Round 6: 2B/SS Daniel Dickinson - Louisiana State University

Dickinson had to prove himself coming out of high school with two strong seasons at Utah Valley University. After two head-turning years in the WAC, he transferred to LSU this past year and played a significant role in the Tigers' College World Series championship run. As the everyday second baseman, he displayed an impressive hit tool and showed advanced plate discipline. Questions exist about his ability to take the next step after a poor showing in the wood-bat Cape Cod League last summer, but Dickinson has proved people wrong throughout his baseball career.

Round 7: OF Josiah Ragsdale - Boston College

Ragsdale is fast, like 70-grade fast. However, he's also shown an ability to hit throughout his college career, which began at Iona for two seasons and ended with a season at Boston College. With a career college OPS of .971, there's more to Ragsdale than just speed, and unlike Dickinson, he had an excellent showing in the Cape Cod League this summer.

Round 8: RHP Hayden Vucinovich - Bloomington Jefferson HS (MN)

Vucinovich is the 4th ranked HS prospect coming out of Minnesota, and for a good reason. According to Prep Baseball Report, the same organization responsible for the ranking, Vucinovich got his fastball as high as 95.5 mph at the Prep Baseball Upper Midwest Procase back in February. He pairs the heat with three secondary pitches, a changeup, curveball, and slider, but the curveball, which averages just under 3000 rpm, sticks out among the bunch. It's a controlled, repeatable delivery for Vucinovich, in which most of his power comes from a high leg kick. With a commitment to Minnesota in place, Vucinovich will almost certainly require an above-slot offer to sign with the Brewers.

Round 9: LHP Andrew Healy - Duke University

Healy stands at 6'6" and can run it up to the mid-90s with his fastball. That's a profile that most MLB teams should be interested in, and had Healy been draft-eligible a season ago, he surely would have gone higher than he did this year. A shockingly poor junior season from Healy, who played all three seasons of college ball at Duke, hurt his draft stock, but his first two seasons with the Blue Devils tell a completely different story. He posted a 2.36 ERA in 42.2 IP as a freshman and a 3.76 ERA in 40.2 IP as a sophomore, but his 7.29 ERA this past season is difficult to understand. It's an intriguing puzzle for the Brewers' pitching lab to solve.

Round 10: RHP Braylon Owens - University of Texas-San Antonio

Fans of college baseball will remember Owens from UTSA's upset of Texas in this year's CWS regional. He tossed four innings of relief and struck out seven in the Roadrunners’ 9-7 win over the 2nd-ranked Longhorns back on May 31. Owens posted average numbers at UTSA while bouncing back and forth between a starter and reliever, capping it off with a 4.47 ERA this past season. But he's an intriguing, well-developed college arm that should come in well below slot with his signing bonus.

Round 11: SS CJ Hughes - Junipero Serra HS (CA)

Hughes is a very young switch-hitting shortstop, whose glove is his best attribute. He's currently committed to play college ball at UC Santa Barbara, and it's borderline whether or not he signs with the Brewers. However, Milwaukee should have the money to pry him away from college ball should they choose to spend it here.

Round 12: LHP Cooper Underwood - Allatoona HS (GA)

Speaking of spending money to pry a player away from their college commitment, the Brewers made a splash in the 12th round. Underwood was ranked as the 133rd best draft prospect by MLB Pipeline, making him the fifth highest-ranked draft pick of Milwaukee's class, despite being taken in the 12th round. He's a 6'2" lefty who can run it up to 93 mph with his fastball and complements it with a plus curveball and a plus slider. With a commitment to Georgia Tech in place, this is the pick that Milwaukee was saving their bonus pool money for.

Round 13: RHP Gavin Lauridsen - Foothill HS (CA)

The Brewers took another prep arm who could come with an expensive signing bonus in the 13th round. Lauridsen touched 94 mph as a 17-year-old a season ago and is currently committed to play college ball at USC. Lauridsen has a controlled, deliberate delivery that makes his velocity appear effortless and should help him with his command as he progresses. His secondary pitches could use some development, but it remains to be seen if that will come in the Brewers farm system or at USC.

Round 14: C Brendan Brock - Southwestern Illinois College

The first JUCO selection of the Brewers’ 2025 draft, Brock is an intriguing one. He's a catcher, but an incredibly athletic one, who stole 27 bases this past season. There's power in his profile too, as Brock slugged 20 HR in 57 games in 2025. With a commitment to Oklahoma in place, Brock likely won't come cheap if the Brewers want to sign him to their minor league system.

Round 15: 3B Dominic Cadiz - Notre Dame HS (CA)

Cadiz made a name for himself this summer in the West Coast League, a collegiate summer ball league in which the high school infield prospect was playing against competition several years older than him. He slashed .375/.464/.650 in 35 games while walking more than he struck out. It's a perplexing, but incredibly impressive development for the UCLA commit, who also won't be cheap for the Brewers to sign.

Round 16: LHP Parker Coil - University of Arkansas

Coil played three seasons of college ball at Arkansas, with his best year by far coming this past season as a relief pitcher. He posted a 1.27 ERA in 21.1 innings out of the Razorbacks' bullpen, but doesn't necessarily hold a track record of success at the collegiate level.

Round 17: RHP Luke Roupe - Grace Christian School HS (NC)

Roupe is an intriguing prep arm that touched 93 mph with his fastball during a showcase back in February. He has a solid curveball-slider mix, with each pitch averaging more than 2500 rpm. It won't be cheap to sign the North Carolina product away from his commitment to the University of South Carolina, but if the Brewers saved enough money elsewhere, Roupe would be an exciting addition to their farm system.

Round 18: C Rylan Mills - Oran HS (MO)

At 18 years old, during his travel ball team's scout day, Mills hit a ball 408 ft, and averaged an exit velocity above 100 mph. Translation: he has some serious power potential. Mills is committed to Southeastern Missouri State next year, and it remains to be seen just how much it will take for the Brewers to pry him away from the Ohio Valley Conference.

Round 19: RHP Chase Bentley - IMG Academy (FL)

Bentley touched 91 mph on the radar gun back in February and sports good mechanics on the mound. At 6'4", it's fair to assume that Bentley will add a bit more velocity as he develops, but a commitment to Texas A&M could prevent that development process from occurring in the Brewers farm system.

Round 20: RHP Ma' Kale Holden - Thompson HS (AL)

Another prep arm that could be difficult for the Brewers to sign, Holden has already touched 94 mph with his fastball and has really good feel for his changeup according to Prep Baseball Alabama. With a commitment to the University of Alabama in place, Holden will likely require an overwhelming signing bonus to officially join the Brewers' organization.
