Breaking down the Reds 2019 Draft

The Cincinnati Reds made 40 selections earlier this week in the 2019 Major League Baseball Draft. Not all of the players will sign. In fact, we know that at least one of them is choosing to go to college rather than sign. But we do know that normally, there will be about 25-30 players who will sign from a given draft class.

This was the first year that the Reds draft was run by someone other than Chris Buckley since 2005. Buckley drafted and signed 7 All-Stars, with a chance for more than a few still out there, but this offseason he was promoted to a different role in the organization and Brad Meador took over as the Director of Amateur Scouting.
