3 MLB Draft prospects Brewers fans should closely watch in College World Series Final

The pinnacle of college baseball is upon us. The College World Series final begins tonight. Tennessee vs. Texas A&M. Volunteers vs. Aggies. The Milwaukee Brewers scouting department will be keeping a close eye on these games and so should Brewers fans.

The Brewers have selected a college player with their first round pick in each of the last five Drafts and seven of the last eight. That makes the College World Series a perfect place to look for possible Brewers Draft picks when the Draft rolls around in July.

Tennessee and Texas A&M have no shortage of Day 1 draft prospects on their teams. Here are a couple for Brewers fans to watch during this best of three series to prepare for the Draft.

1. Billy Amick, 3B, Tennessee

The Brewers went the power hitting corner infielder route in 2023 with Brock Wilken and perhaps they could do so again with Billy Amick in 2024. Amick gets above average grades with both his hit tool and power. For the Vols this year, Amick has hit .313/.392/.663 with 14 doubles, 23 homers, and 65 RBIs.

While there are some question marks about the long term defensive fit at third base and the potential to move to first base is real, the bat is what you're really buying here with Amick. He has lightning quick bat speed and hits the ball hard to all fields.

In his three games so far at the College World Series, Amick has hit .307 (4 for 13) with a double and an RBI.

Right now, Amick is earning consideration in the second half of the first round, right around the area the Brewers are picking at 17 overall. It's unlikely he lasts to the Brewers second pick at 34 overall. Milwaukee likes taking safer college bats with their first pick and Amick is going to be worthy of consideration at that spot.
