Reds add college catcher with championship pedigree; A breakdown of Day 2 draft picks

Every time Mississippi State faced elimination during the school’s run to a College World Series title in 2021, catcher Logan Tanner delivered a big moment.

There was a three-run homer in the Super Regional clincher. A game-tying double to beat Texas in the first game of the College World Series. An RBI single and a solo homer in the title clincher.

One year after Tanner helped Mississippi State to a championship, he was celebrating his own achievement. The Cincinnati Reds picked him in the second round (No. 55 overall) in the 2022 MLB Draft.
