I am hoping for Casey Martin in round 2, but unlikely he will be around.

2020 Top 100 Prospects
#84 Austin Hendrick
Reds
OF
Notes:
Final 2019 Ranking: NA
Tools: Hit: 60 | Power: 70 | Run: 45 | Fielding: 50 | Arm: 60
2019 Average Exit Velo: NA
Skinny: Quite simply, Hendrick has the potential to be an offensive monster. Scouting directors rated him as the second-best hitter in the 2020 high school class and the best power prospect as well. There are questions about Hendrick’s swing-and-miss and whether the competition he faced as a high schooler in Pennsylvania could have somewhat inflated his offensive output. Hendrick also has excellent arm strength that would play well in right field.

60 hit and 70 power?
Yes please.

That'd be a .280 hitter with 30-35 HR to begin, according to fangraphs.
26 MLB players did it last season.

Sounds a lot like Jay Bruce.

That's better than Bruce. Bruce only had one season where he hit 280, and he managed less HRs.
That's more Juan Soto or Kris Bryant.
