Of the 26 players on the Milwaukee Brewers' active roster, 20 played high school baseball in the United States. And 11 of them were multi-sport athletes in high school! These Brewers are proof that competing in multiple sports in high school helps student-athletes develop versatility, teamwork, leadership & resilience while building skills that they will carry into life long after their playing days are over. GO BREW CREW! 💙💛 #MultisportAthlete #WorldSeries #ThisIsMyCrew
