Scouting Report

Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 45 | Run: 45 | Arm: 60 | Field: 50 | Overall: 45

Ebel has baseball roots as the son of Dodgers third-base coach Dino Ebel, and he put them to good use as a showcase standout at the Area Code Games and High School All-American Game in 2024. He was part of a loaded and widely seen Corona High School squad featuring top 2025 picks Seth Hernandez and Billy Carlson, and while his stock may have slipped a bit as a senior, he still went 32nd overall to the Brewers with the Draft pick Milwaukee picked up for losing Willy Adames in free agency. Ebel signed just below slot at $2.75 million.

Entering pro ball, the 6-foot-3 infielder may not have a lot of huge offensive tools, but there are enough pieces to like here. His left-handed swing is a smooth one with good barrel control, and he doesn’t need much of a load to get it going. Ebel faced many questions about his overall impact after hitting the ball on the ground too much as a Corona senior, but he has size to dream on. Average pop could come down the line with added strength under a pro program.

Ebel played third base in high school because Carlson was such a wizard at shortstop, and as a below-average runner with a plus arm, he might just end up there long term. Brewers VP of amateur acquisition Tod Johnson noted after the Draft, however, that Ebel's shortstop actions mimicked Corey Seager, who worked with the senior Ebel in Los Angeles, and his overall IQ could paper over some of the other tools.

Ebel grew up around the game, with his father, Dino, serving as the Dodgers’ third-base coach. His experience working with big leaguers for a long time was clearly on display throughout the summer showcase circuit at events like the Area Code Games and Major League Baseball’s High School All-American Game. He also helped Corona High School win the 2024 National High School Invitational last spring and looked like he might join Seth Hernandez and Billy Carlson as Corona teammates who could go in the first round, but a tough spring at the plate hurt his Draft stock. The Brewers still took him 32nd overall (their compensation pick for losing Willy Adames in free agency) and signed him for $2.75 million.

Last summer, Ebel showed he could do a lot of things well, albeit without "wow" tools, along with some physical projection that could enable his skills to play up. It’s clear he’s been around professional hitters, with a smooth left-handed swing and an advanced approach at the plate. He found the barrel consistently and performed well against high-level stuff over the summer, but concerns about bat speed and impact carried over to his senior year. There could very well be more power to come as he fills out his 6-foot-3 frame, but he hit too many balls on the ground this spring.

Ebel doesn’t run well and many see a move to third in his future, where he was already playing this spring in deference to Carlson, which would put a little more pressure on the power side of his offensive profile. He does have a plus arm that is impressively accurate and would play from anywhere. His baseball IQ could allow everything to play up, and Brewers VP of amateur acquisition Tod Johnson noted it’s evident that Ebel has spent time around Corey Seager given how he mimics some of the All-Star’s actions.
