I know he's a late round, but since he played locally at UC, I thought I'd add a thread for AJ Bumpass.
C.Trent had a nice piece in The Atheletic about how Bumpass ended up at UC and how he's going to continue his baseball playing in the Reds system.

Bumpass thoroughly destroyed the Beavers in the Regionals.
You can't make this stuff up.
I love this guy. Love this pick.
He's a more powerful version of T.J. Friedl with a bit less basepath speed. This is not your normal 39th Round pick. I see him in Louisville by the end of next year, taking over one of the outfield spots there for all of 2021.

That is a bold take, Cotton.

I'll take the under on that.

Getting blocked will be his biggest issue.

As anyone with common sense should.
"One problem with people who have no vices is that they're pretty sure to have some annoying virtues."
Friedl's in his 4th yr in our system and he still hasn't cracked AAA
He started when he was 18. Two completely separate paths.

I like this kid and also Miles Gordon as he climbs up in the system.
Wasn’t Friedl a draft eligible college sophomore when he was drafted by the reds?
I really don’t get why everyone seems so excited about Friedl, I agree with SR, I don’t see it.
What would you say.....ya do here?
He was a draft eligible college sophomore when he went undrafted and signed as a free agent with the reds.
Yes, I forgot about how it went down. My statement remains unchanged.
What would you say.....ya do here?
Just start calling him Scrappy now.
WHEN DOES IT STOP!?!?
He's a Chris Denorfia type.
The Reds could use one of those.
