MILWAUKEE -- Former Brewers second baseman Jim Gantner will lead the team's on-air delegation for the broadcast of the First-Year Player Draft next month, when Milwaukee will pick with the 26th overall selection.

Gantner was Milwaukee's 12th-round pick in 1974 out of the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and remains a fixture at Miller Park for Brewers home games. He will be joined by Mark Mueller from the Brewers' player development department.
