Round 26: Chase Rezac, RHP, Southern Utah U. 6'2"/200, Junior.
Does it seem odd to anyone that the Reds draft so many guys from obscure colleges? So far: Trinity, Bakersfield, Palomar, Grayson County, Saginaw Valley, Albany, Southern Utah . . . And it's not just this year. I've noticed the same thing the past couple seasons. I wonder if the Reds are unusual in that respect.
