Cincinnati Reds scouting director Chris Buckley discusses strategy in MLB Draft

With the Cincinnati Reds sitting in last place in the National League Central, more eyes shift toward the farm system to see which young prospects could make an impact in the Major Leagues.

Recent first-round picks Nick Senzel and Hunter Greene are considered among the top prospects in baseball.

Who could be next?

The Reds own the No. 5 pick in the first round of the Major League Baseball Draft, which begins at 7 p.m. Monday in New Jersey.

Reds scouting director Chris Buckley notes he’s picking players who likely won’t have a chance to reach the Majors for a few years.
