MLB Draft
#1
Reds 1st round pick at #18 is Cam Collier 3B. MLB Network saying he is a top 10 talent and consider this the steal of the draft at this point.

He looks like a good defensive player with some power. Maybe another Mike Schmidt? lol

This is a steal. Apparently they have a deal in place already. Keith Law ranked him as the number 2 prospect in the draft. Draws Rafael Devers comparisons.

In 2025, they could have a left side of the infield consisting of Collier and De La Cruz. I'll take it.

Reds had a compensation pick at #32 and took Sal Stewart who is also a 3B.

Quote:Westminster Christian School in the Miami area has generated some serious baseball talent over the years, led by Alex Rodriguez, and most recently, Royals prospect MJ Melendez. Stewart could be next in line in terms of hitters with thump to come from the school after showing off his hit and power tools over the summer. That included advancing in MLB’s High School All-American Game Home Run Derby, allowing him to take hacks during the big league Derby over the All-Star break in Denver. This spring, he’s proven to be one of the better pure high school bats in the class. Most of Stewart’s value comes from his right-handed bat. He has the chance to hit with a solid approach at the plate and legitimate raw power he already knows how to tap into. Some scouts think he’s power over hit, but there’s plenty of belief he’ll hit enough to get to the power consistently at the next level. While he’s a below-average runner, he’s more athletic than you’d think given his size for someone who just recently stopped playing basketball at a competitive level. The lack of speed has led some to wonder where Stewart will play defensively long-term, with some thinking he might eventually have to move to first base. But his feet work fine and he has enough arm to start out as a third baseman, if a team can sign him away from his commitment to Vanderbilt.

I think most 3B can play 2B or 1B. If he is a good hitter, they will find a spot.

Right, very few are cemented in one position at this point in their careers.

Final list. Twelve of the last thirteen they chose pitchers.

Lots of pitchers to filter out the good ones.

Hopefully there's 2 or 3 good ones in there. We need bullpen help pretty bad.
