The Cincinnati Reds made Matt McLain their first-round selection in the 2021 MLB Draft. Outside of Jose Barrero, formerly Jose Garcia, the Reds have no shortstops among their Top 30 prospects according to MLB Pipeline. That’s about to change.
This section is as close to highway robbery as Cincinnati could’ve hoped for. The Kansas City Royals made the odd selection of Frank Mozzicato with the 7th overall pick, Kumar Rocker fell to the New York Mets at No.
