A 22-year-old reliever and first baseman for West Alabama, a Division Two school, Rainey was 4-1 with a 1.59 ERA and nine saves in 26 appearances. In 28 1/3 innings, he allowed five earned runs, 11 hits and 14 walks with 50 strikeouts. MLB.com scouting reports show that his fastball tops out at 97 mph. He is listed at 6-foot-2 and 235 pounds.
Following a trend they've established in recent years, the Reds plan on developing Rainey as a starting pitcher and not as a reliever.
