The Milwaukee Brewers had selected Ohlmann in the 20th round (608th overall). Brewers scout Renee Mons called shortly thereafter .

"I had known that they were going to take me for about a month," said Ohlmann, a 6-foot-1, 220 pound right-hand pitcher out of Choate Rosemary Hall and Manchester Communicty College. "I just wasn't sure if anybody was going to grab me before them. I'm ecstatic. It's the culmination of years and years and years of hard work and I couldn't be happier."

Ohlmann signed with the Brewers at his home Friday night for undisclosed terms and leaves for mini-camp in Tempe, Ariz. on Sunday.
