Reds draft decision: Robert Hassell III vs. Austin Hendrick

The Cincinnati Reds have several different directions in which they could go on June 10th. With the No. 12 overall pick in the 2020 MLB Draft, Cincinnati could very easily be looking at two of the best prep outfielders available. If both Robert Hassell III and Austin Hendrick are available, who should the Reds select?

Hassell III and Hendrick offer some similarities. Both are left-handed batters who profile as corner outfielders. Hassell III possesses a strong arm, but a lack of speed is likely to see the 18-year-old wind up in right field before making his big league debut.
