Cincinnati Reds grab more raw power in Round 3 of the MLB Draft

The Cincinnati Reds added the No. 1 college pitcher on Day 1 of the 2019 MLB Draft with their first overall pick. Cincinnati then selected a power bat with the No. 49 overall pick last night and now have added another slugger with their third-round selection. Tyler Callihan, a high school third baseman out of Florida, was taken with the 85th overall pick.

Tyler Callihan, who’s rated as the No. 35 prospect in this draft class by MLB.com, becomes the third player chosen by the Cincinnati Reds in the 2019 MLB Draft. Callihan joins left-handed pitcher Nick Lodolo and third baseman Rece Hinds who were taken during the first two rounds on Monday night.
