Baseball America recently tabbed Cincinnati Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo as their 36th best prospect in baseball. MLB Pipeline, a part of MLB.com, currently has Lodolo as their 31st best. Baseball Prospectus, meanwhile, ranks him 42nd.
It’s a pretty across-the-board consensus that he’s one of the better overall prospects in the game, something that was widely known and expected when the Reds drafted him 7th overall out of TCU back in 2019, a year in which he’d go on to throw 18.1 pro innings after being drafted with 30 strikeouts and not a single walk on his ledger.
