    Re: 2021 Arizona Fall League

    Might be an interesting tidbit happening in Arizona last night. Drew Mount, formerly mostly a corner OF, played a full game in CF and went 2-4 to raise his Arizona BA to .341. (That BA would rank in the top 10 of the league, were he to have enough PAs for it to count. Alas.) That he can play CF is apparent-- he's played it a handful of games since being drafted in 2018 and, according to his scouting report, has above average speed and a decent arm to boot.

    That he's playing it now might indicate the Reds like him enough to perhaps try him there in AAA to see if he might be able to handle it moving forward. Of course, it could just as easily mean they like him as a three- or four-position backup who can fill in capably in a pinch as well. Or it might mean that CFs are hard to come by in Arizona-- especially with Michael Siani mostly on the shelf for the last couple of weeks.

    Regardless, Mount's 11 PA short of qualifying for the league lead and has put up a .341/ .408/ .455/ .863 in his time in the AFL. Perhaps he can entice another team to give up something of value... or prove himself as a viable option moving forward. He, Johnson, and Siani have all shown some signs of growth over their time in Arizona, and Reds' officials have to be ecstatic that they have.
