With the No. 213 pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, the Cincinnati Reds selected Texas Longhorns redshirt sophomore shortstop Trey Faltine on Monday.
A Fort Bend Travis product who played all nine position in high school, Faltine arrived on the Forty Acres in 2019 as a raw athlete after the Boston Red Sox selected him in the 39th round of the MLB Draft. Working with volunteer assistant coach Troy Tulowitzki, Faltine began to refine his athleticism and quickly emerged as the one of the best defensive shortstops in college baseball thanks to his range and ability to make throws from whatever angle necessary.
