Per the interview with Jersey Sports Zone Bryce Meccage was surprised that the Brewers took him. He indicated that they attended a lot of his games, in which he didn’t give up a single hit his senior season, but they weren’t one of the more active teams at the combine. Meccage then went on to reveal that the Brewers area scout coached him when he was 12 years old.
Bryce Meccage has learned to “keep working and grinding”.
