The Cincinnati Reds’ first two picks of day two were risky like Hunter Greene and then followed by a series of solid picks. The Reds selected high school lefty Jacob Heatherly out of Cullman in Alabama. He is a 19-year old starter that has committed to play for the University of Alabama, but already signed with the Reds.
In the fourth round the Reds added another shortstop in Cash Case out of the First Academy High School in Florida. As a left-handed middle infielder, he is intriguing, but he also has committed to Notre Dame. Using such high picks to take players signed for good college programs is risky for a smaller market team.
