This is where I will compile information on the draft for Friday. Rounds 3-10 will take place today and I will keep it all in one post today. Scouting reports, stats and video on everyone (when available - high school guys won't have stats and some guys may not have video) will be updated within minutes of the pick being made.
Cincinnati Reds 3rd Round: Mark Armstrong - RHP - Clarence High School (NY)
6' 2" 210 lbs.
Scouting Report
Armstrong throws his fastball in the 89-91 MPH range and has touched 94 and scouts believe he has room for improvement with his velocity as well. He mixes in a strong curveball with good bite and a change up. His mechanics are nice and smooth.

Cincinnati Reds 4th Round: Ben Lively - RHP - Central Florida
6' 4" 190 lbs.
Scout Report
He has a fastball in the low 90's. He mixes in a slider as his main secondary pitch, though he also has a curveball and a change up he uses too. I have slight concerns about his mechanics.

Cincinnati Reds 5th Round: Cory Thompson - SS - Mauldin High School (SC)
6' 0" 185 lbs
Scouting Report
A two way player who was looked at as both a pitcher and a position player, the Reds liked Thompson as a shortstop. He has good speed and a very strong arm. Offensively he has good bat speed and has some power projection. A good athlete, if he can't stick at shortstop could also play at second or center, but will likely be given plenty of time to play at short.

Cincinnati Reds 6th Round: Zack Weiss - RHP - UCLA
6' 1" 200 lbs.
Scouting Report
He throws in the low 90's with his fastball. He mixes in a curveball in the low to mid 70's that could be an average pitch, a slider with good potential in the 80-85 MPH range and a change up that is his 4th pitch. He has split time between the bullpen and rotation while in college, but spent all of 2013 in the bullpen.
Stats
| Year | W | L | ERA | IP | H | HR | BB | K | WHIP |
| 2011 | 5 | 3 | 2.86 | 66 | 44 | 1 | 22 | 53 | 1.00 |
| 2012 | 3 | 3 | 4.28 | 69.1 | 73 | 7 | 32 | 44 | 1.51 |
| 2013 | 2 | 1 | 2.50 | 36 | 32 | 1 | 11 | 25 | 1.19 |

Cincinnati Reds 7th Round: Tyler Mahle - RHP - West Minster High School (CA)
6' 2" 175 lbs.
Scouting Report
Mahle currently throws 88-91 MPH, but scouts think there is projection left in his frame. He throws a curveball in the low 70's and a change up, but both pitches need consistency. Both pitches could be average or better in the future with some consistency and improvement though. He has clean mechanics and repeats them well which leads to good control.

Cincinnati Reds 8th Round: Scott Brattvet - RHP - Cal State Bakersfield
6' 1" 190 lbs.
Scouting Report
The senior shows a fastball in the 90-94 MPH range and a slider in the low 80's with a bit of potential. His walk rate was a bit high, so he will likely need to improve his control as a professional.
Stats
| Year | W | L | ERA | IP | H | HR | BB | K | WHIP |
| 2012 | 6 | 5 | 4.75 | 91 | 105 | 9 | 38 | 66 | 1.57 |
| 2013 | 9 | 1 | 2.65 | 98.2 | 95 | 2 | 42 | 70 | 1.39 |
Cincinnati Reds 9th Round: Chad Jones - LHP - No School
6' 2" 220 lbs.
Scouting Report
Formerly played at LSU. Was drafted by the NY Giants as an NFL player, but was injured in a car wreck before his first season began and was never able to recover to NFL shape. When he pitched out of the bullpen at LSU he threw in the low 90's with a good breaking ball.

Cincinnati Reds 10th Round: Daniel Wright - RHP - Arkansas State
6' 2" 205 lbs.
Scouting Report
Wright throws a fastball, change up and breaking ball. Reports are that his mechanics aren't the smoothest and it could lead (and has in the past) to control problems. More to come if I can track anything else down.
