SS Eric Brown, Coastal Carolina: (From CBS) Brown is a divisive prospect, with evaluators split on whether or not he's worthy of a first-round pick. Those who like Brown overlook an unusual pre-swing setup, in which he extends and elevates his arms and then points his barrel toward the third baseman as he begins his load, and are instead able to focus on his production and compelling combination of contact, power, and plate discipline. He hit .282/.375/.436 at the Cape Cod League last summer and .330/.460/.544 this spring, all with supporting ball-tracking metrics. Brown's boosters also see him sticking at short, making him a well-rounded player

Eric Brown is a powder-keg infielder with a ton of punch at the plate and twitchy actions on the dirt. Game can speed up on him. Some of the best raw power, pound-for-pound elite. Swing/setup is a bit wonky, but works. Might move to 2B or LF, but you're buying the bat. #Brewers

Switch pitcher!
That is cool. Wasn't Jim Kaat from the Netherlands?
Actually he was from Holland.
I wonder why 2 guys ranked as 74th and 79th ranked prospects lasted until the 17th and 19th rounds?
Jim Kaat was born in Zeeland, Michigan and went to Hope College in Holland, Michigan. That entire region might as well have been the Netherlands back when he was born.

The last few picks are flyers, probably hoping they can sign one of them.
