2022 mock draft: Position players pack Top 10
18. Reds: Dylan Lesko, RHP, Buford (Ga.) HS (No. 9)
Lesko was this Draft's top pitching prospect until he injured his elbow and had Tommy John surgery in April. He's unlikely to go in the top 10 any longer, but he shouldn't drop too far.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Hard hard pass.
What would you say.....ya do here?
It's worth asking if he'll be the next Lucas Giolito...or be in the next bunch of guys whose names I can't quite remember.

Right now, I really like Gavin Cross. Not sure he drops all the way to 18, but it's possible. His is the type of profile-- big-time exit velocities, big-time power projection, super-quick bat-- that the Reds have focused on in drafts lately. College OF Jordan Beck is another in the same vein, as is Chase DeLauter.
SS Zack Nito and SP Gabe Hughes are college guys who could move quickly. (Nito's bat is my favorite tool I've seen in highlights so far this year, though I've yet to make a serious dive into draft guys-- and won't until closer to the NCAA tournament.)
OF Justin Crawford (son of Carl) and SS/CF Jett Williams are HS bats that are interesting too. The Reds may go with Cam Collier, a HS 3B with (again) good bat speed, loft, and backspin. (He's a Rece Hinds type, if that helps.)
Cam Collier is who I'd like to see the Reds draft, if they have a chance. Otherwise, a college pitcher will do nicely.

Jonathan Mayo 2022 Mock Draft
18. Reds: Cole Young, SS, North Allegheny HS, Pa. (No. 18)
If the Reds want to go with a college arm, Gonzaga’s Gabe Hughes could come into play here. But there’s a sense they are leaning bats, with the Pittsburgh-area prepster getting the edge this week over college hitters like Beavers or Beck.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Keith Law was on the Athletic's baseball podcast talking about Cole Young: https://pca.st/pyjc4j3t#t=11m57s (it's queued up to start at the discussion about Young)
