Brewers Take Trey Ebel With 25th Overall Pick

The club appears to be betting it can sign the 17-year-old for less than the pick’s $3,696,000 slot value to free bonus money for later selections.

Overview

  • The Milwaukee Brewers selected high-school shortstop Trey Ebel with the No. 25 pick in the MLB Draft on July 11, 2026.
  • Ebel, 17, hit .417/.496/.796 with nine home runs as a senior at Corona High School and is a Texas A&M commit who is widely expected to sign a pro contract.
  • Scouting services praise his polished plate approach and contact ability but project he may move off shortstop to second or third base as he progresses.
  • The pick is viewed by outlets as a reach relative to many pre-draft rankings and looks designed to produce an underslot signing that would free the Brewers’ bonus pool for later picks.
  • The selection keeps Trey in the same organization as his brother Brady and taps the Brewers’ existing familiarity with the family and their development pipeline.
