Brewers Sign First-Round Pick Ethan Small

By Connor Byrne | June 25, 2019 at 3:53pm CDT

The Brewers have signed first-round pick Ethan Small, the team announced. Smith inked a deal worth $1.8MM, below the $2,493,900 slot value of his selection, Jim Callis of MLB.com tweets.

The 22-year-old Small’s a former Mississippi State University left-hander who, according to pundits, didn’t rank as highly as the Brewers viewed him entering the draft. Baseball America rated Small 45th in the 2019 class, while ESPN’s Keith Law (No. 50), MLB.com (No. 56) and FanGraphs (No. 58) placed him lower. Small’s a former Tommy John surgery patient whose velocity hasn’t returned since the procedure, per Law, though he notes the hurler “has improved substantially as a pitcher.”

With Small under wraps, the Brewers have now agreed to deals with each of their first three draft picks. They previously inked second-round pitcher Antoine Kelly ($1.03MM) and fourth-round catcher Nick Kahle ($325K). The club entered the draft with the second-lowest pool available at $5,148,200.

      Brewers w/l record last year, Moose signing, and Grandal signing. Plus traded away their lottery? Pick. Not sure the exact lingo atm.

      Grandal signing and record/draft position. And I believe they didn’t get a supplemental pick.

        My comment above. Supplemental pick is what I was referring to for Lottery pick. Used for Alex Claudio I believe.

    Good to see this is done. Now can we please send Shaw and dfa Aguilar then bring up Huira and Dubon. Then trade for Boyd and Will Smith. I think they do that and give Barker, Oslzack, Griep and Devin Williams a chance.

      But will Will Smith get jiggy with it?

      Exactly who will the Brewers trade for Boyd, let alone Smith? I think you just called up or cut all the potential trade chips…

      Why Dubon? To play backup for Arcia? Hiura is an easy call up. I dont really know where you find trading capitol for a Boyd or Will Smith.

          To get Smith or Boyd, you start with Hiura, or start with three guys as good or better than Turang.
