Okay I admit, I may be a little biased. I got to see Michael Siani play for an entire summer in 2019 while working for the Dayton Dragons. Everyone around Dayton saw Siani’s elite potential. He parried great defensive ability with a good arm and lightning speed in center field. Michael Siani may be the most underrated prospect in the Cincinnati Reds farm system.

Taken by the Reds in the fourth-round of the 2018 MLB Draft, Michael Siani was signed for over slot-value and decided to forgo his commitment to the University of Virginia.
