Brewers 2022 Draft signings tracker

August 1st, 2022

Below is a list of every player drafted by the Brewers.

Each club has until 5 p.m. ET/4 p.m. CT on Monday, Aug. 1, to come to terms with its Draft selections. If a player has exhausted his collegiate eligibility, he can sign at any time up until one week prior to the next year’s Draft.

Draft-and-follow picks -- high school and junior college players selected after the 10th round who attend a two-year college after the Draft -- can sign with their selecting teams for up to $250,000 up until a week prior to the following year’s Draft.

Total bonus pool: $7,074,700

MLB rank: 22

1 (27): Eric Brown Jr., SS, Coastal Carolina -- $2.05 million (Pick value: $2,701,900)
Brown wasted little time signing his first pro contract, spent his day Friday getting introduced around American Family Field and also got to meet Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich, whom Brown said was one of his favorite players to watch growing up. Next, Brown will head to Phoenix, where he'll see some Arizona Complex League action before eventually joining an affiliate for the rest of the season.

2 (63): Jacob Misiorowski, RHP, Crowder College -- $2.35 million (Pick value: $1,131,500)
Four years after the Brewers drafted left-hander Aaron Ashby in the fourth round, they picked 6-foot-7 right-hander Misiorowski from the same junior college and paid him an over-slot bonus to persuade him from passing on a scholarship to LSU. Said Brewers VP of domestic scouting Tod Johnson: “It's electric stuff. ... It’s four-pitch potential. He’s pretty thin still; there’s some filling out to come. But he touches 100 [mph] already with strength to come in the future and has two really good breaking balls and a changeup that is a really good pitch already that we’ll continue to develop as well. He hasn’t had to use his changeup, honestly, because JC hitters had a hard time with a 100 mph fastball and the slider that he has. We’re pretty pumped to get him down there [in the second round]. We thought it was one of the best pure arms in the Draft.”

CB-B (72): Robert Moore, SS, Arkansas -- $800,000 (Pick value: $915,300)
Moore, the son of Kansas City Royals president of baseball operations Dayton Moore, was a potential first-round pick going into 2022 but fell past the second round after a so-so junior season at Arkansas, though he did win the collegiate version of a Gold Glove Award at second base. Because he graduated high school a year early at age 17, the switch-hitting Moore was one of the youngest four-year college juniors in this year's Draft pool, and the Brewers see room for him to grow offensively.

3 (102): Dylan O'Rae, SS, Northern Collegiate (ON, Canada) -- $575,500 (Pick value: $600,700)
A 5-foot-9 left-handed hitter from Sarnia, Ontario, who played for the Canadian Junior National Team and was the first Canadian drafted this year, O'Rae didn't appear on the various pre-Draft prospect lists to the surprise of Johnson. The Brewers believe O'Rae has room to grow physically and they like his instincts and bat to ball skills.

4 (132): Matt Wood, C, Penn State -- $347,500 (Pick value: $448,400)
Wood, a left-handed-hitting catcher out of Penn State, won the Big Ten batting title with a .379 average while posting a .480 on-base percentage and more walks (36) than strikeouts (26). The Brewers see him as a good all-around catcher who will have no problem staying behind the plate.

5 (162): Will Rudy, RHP, Cal Poly Pomona -- $150,000 (Pick value: $334,500)
Rudy is a relatively recent convert to pitching who struck out 96 batters in 87 innings and was regarded as one of the top available arms from the Division II ranks. Said Johnson: "He's new to pitching this year, a conversion guy. He's really athletic and hasn't been on the mound a lot, so we feel like there's significant upside. There's low mileage on the arm, it works nice and easy. He hasn't had a ton of instruction, either."

6 (192): Tyler Woessner, RHP, Central Arizona College -- $100,000 (Pick value: $259,700)

7 (222): Ben Metzinger, 3B, Louisville -- $97,500 (Pick value: $204,500)

8 (252): Nate Peterson, LHP, University of Illinois at Chicago -- $167,500 (Pick value: $171,100)

9 (282): Tayden Hall, C, State College of Florida Manatee-Sarasota -- $157,500 (Pick value: $157,500)
Hall had a .484 on-base percentage and more walks (40) than strikeouts (22) in 2022. His father, Toby Hall, caught for the Rays, Dodgers and White Sox from 2000-08.

10 (312): Brian Fitzpatrick, LHP, Rutgers -- $100,000 (Pick value: $149,600)
The Brewers capped Day 2 of the three-day Draft by picking another 6-foot-7 pitcher, one who upped his stock in the Cape Cod League after missing time with a foot injury at Rutgers.

11 (342): Cameron Wagoner, RHP, Eastern Michigan

12 (372): Luke Adams, 3B, Hinsdale Central HS (IL) -- $282,500 ($157,500 counts vs. pool)
The Brewers used some excess pool funds to lure Adams away from a scholarship at Michigan State. He is a 6-foot-4 right-handed hitter with a strong throwing arm.

13 (382): Zane Petty, RHP, Corsicana HS (TX)

Has not agreed to terms

14 (432): Adrian Maldonado, RHP, Minnesota

15 (462): Satchell Norman, C, Florida SouthWestern State College

16 (492): Ethan Lege, 3B, Delgado College

17 (522): Brady Neal, C, IMG Academy (FL)
Has not agreed to terms

18 (552): Jurrangelo Cijntje, SP, Champagnat Catholic School (FL)

19 (582): Jaden Noot, RHP, Sierra Canyon School (CA)
Has not agreed to terms

20 (612): Noah Hall, RHP, South Carolina
Has not agreed to terms

How bonus pools and pick values work
Each choice in the first 10 rounds comes with an assigned value, with the total for a club's selections equaling what it can spend in those rounds without incurring a penalty. If a player taken in the top 10 rounds doesn't sign, his pick's value gets subtracted from his team's pool. Clubs near the top of the Draft often spend less than the assigned value for those choices and use the savings to offer more money to later selections.

Teams that exceed their bonus pool face a penalty. Clubs that outspend their allotment by 0-5 percent pay a 75 percent tax on the overage. At higher thresholds, clubs lose future picks: a first-rounder and a 75 percent tax for surpassing their pool by more than 5 and up to 10 percent; a first- and a second-rounder and a 100 percent tax for more than 10 and up to 15 percent; and two first-rounders and a 100 percent tax for more than 15 percent.
