Brewers grab 22nd-ranked Draft prospect Strosnider with 2nd pick at No. 66

The Brewers selected outfielder Sawyer Strosnider out of Texas Christian University with the No. 66 pick -- their second of the Draft.

Strosnider, the 22nd-ranked Draft prospect in this year’s class per MLB Pipeline, was a tremendous power-speed threat in high school and then with TCU. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound 21-year-old became only the sixth NCAA Division I player in the past 25 years to reach double figures in home runs, triples, doubles and steals as a freshman in 2025.

With that performance, which included a 1.070 OPS, Strosnider was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Year. He was also selected to the All-Big 12 Conference First Team and the Big 12 All-Tournament Team, and was named a Second Team All-American by Baseball America.

With a beautiful left-handed swing, Strosnider possesses massive raw power, demonstrating it in memorable fashion by smashing a dorm room window beyond the right-field fence during the 2023 Area Code Games in San Diego.

While he needs to cut down on his chase rate, Strosnider’s in-zone contact percentage has been consistent. He’s had a high ground ball rate, however, and will need to lift the ball more, something that could come with better pitch recognition.

Defensively, Strosnider has the speed to potentially play center field in the big leagues, though he’s been primarily a right fielder at TCU. He has a strong arm, with a fastball averaging in the low-90s as a high school pitcher and a plus arm at the college level before having a cleanup procedure done on his left (throwing) shoulder.

Strosnider is a quick-twitch athlete who could be an electric player if he has success and ascends up the Minor League ladder.
