The Cincinnati Reds have a pair of elite prospects in Nick Senzel and Tyler Mahle. 2017’s top draft pick Hunter Greene may get more press and Robert Stephenson may be more of a disappointment, but Mahle and Senzel lead the class. Luis Castillo is good, but has moved on from the label of a prospect.
The Reds drafted Senzel second overall in the 2016 MLB amateur draft. He played his college ball at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. His senior year at UT he led the SEC in doubles with 25.
In two minor league seasons Senzel has dominated the minor leagues.
