    Under 21 talent ratings.....

    23 - Cincinnati Reds

    The Reds have had one of the flashiest offseasons in baseball this year and head into the 2020 campaign hoping one of the most interesting prospects in recent years is ready for a breakout return at some point. Right-handed pitcher Hunter Greene underwent Tommy John surgery last April and will have a delayed start to his season while still on the recovery trail. Cincinnati likes outfielder Michael Siani who carries potential above-average big league tools in virtually every facet of his game and went wire-to-wire last season with Class A Dayton, batting .253 with a. 672 OPS in 121 games. Also with the Dragons, righty Lyon Richardson made 26 starts at just 19 years old and finished on his best note of the year, posting a 2.45 ERA in August while striking out 22 against six walks in 25 2/3 innings. A fourth-round pick out of Chipola Junior College in Florida last year, infielder Ivan Johnson was steady in his professional bow, batting .255 with a .742 OPS in 46 games with Rookie-level Greeneville while getting time at both second and short. Lefty Jacob Heatherly will look to bounce back from an injury-ravaged 2019 that saw him make just four starts for Dayton before being sidelined by a shoulder issue. A lot of the strength of this group will be determined by Greene's post-surgery potential, however, so keep an eye on the right-hander and his 80-grade fastball this summer.

    It's odd who MLB tends to talk about.

    I totally get Greene because, duh.

    But they ignored Rece Hinds (2019 2nd rounder) and Tyler Callihan (2018 3rd rounder) to talk about 2019 4th rounder Ivan Johnson. No international kids either.

    Those facts could make this look really dumb in less than a year.

    Was not Callihan a 2019 draft pick?
