Case Williams, a 2020 fourth-round draft pick, was acquired by the Reds.
The Cincinnati Reds swapped right-handed pitchers yesterday. Robert Stephenson, a former first-round pick, was dealt to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for Jeff Hoffman. Case Williams, a fourth-round pick in the 2020 MLB Draft was also part of the deal, essentially giving the Reds an additional draft pick.
Williams was a prep player from Douglas County High School in Colorado that Nick Krall was eager to select in the fourth round of last year’s draft, but the Rockies, selecting a few picks before Cincinnati, plucked the right-hander with the 110th overall pick.
