The Reds made a few things go last night in the first leg of the draft, picking up three talented whippersnappers. Wick already introduced you to the No 5 overall pick, “The Jewel in the Crown” Jon India (Farmer’s Only already with the funny frickin ha-has!), so today I wanna look at the other two kids.
Second Round - No 47: Lyon Richardson
The Reds got a big prep arm with their second-round pick, taking Lyon Richardson out of Jensen Beach High School in Florida. He has a tall, thin frame that projects to fill out into a good prototypical power pitcher build, but he already hits 98 mph on the radar gun with his fastball.
