Reds select RHP Ty Floyd, SS Sammy Stafura to round up night one of MLB Draft

If you thought the excitement of the MLB draft was over after the Reds selected Rhett Lowder, you were sorely mistaken. There were two more picks to be made by the Reds, and they got right to pickin’, with selections in Competitive Balance Round A and Round 2.

Competitive Balance Round A (Pick 38) - Ty Floyd, RHP, LSU

The Reds used their competitive balance round pick to go after another college pitcher who looks to be a fast mover, as they went with Ty Floyd, a right handed pitcher out of LSU. Floyd’s draft stock rose last month after an incredible performance in the College World Series.
