Every young athlete in baseball someday dreams of being drafted into the Major Leagues. With 40 rounds of picks, many players find their dreams within reach. It isn’t always easy to predict the future of a player, but teams like the Cincinnati Reds have successes and busts.
Many familiar names have been drafted by the Cincinnati Reds over the last decade, specifically in the first round. Jessie Winker (49th, 2012), Phillip Ervin (27th, 2013), Michael Lorenzen (38th, 2013), and Alex Blandino (29th, 2014) have all made impacts for the Reds.
