To try and keep the website up and running smoothly today, there may be times in which the site looks a little different. It seems that when I am having heavy traffic and then publish something at the same time, it causes errors on the back end of the website. To try and avoid that, I am going to switch up the look of the website when I publish or perhaps even just switch things up to a very simple set up all day long. We will have to see how it goes.
Today there are 30 rounds. To keep things a little easier to navigate I will break down today into three different posts with 10 picks each. To find information on all of my draft stuff, check out the link at the top of this post. This will be updated as soon as the draft picks are made (or within 3-5 minutes as it will take me time to track down stats/video/scouting reports on guys when they are available).
Cincinnati Reds 11th Round: Ty Boyles - LHP - Quartz Hill High School (CA)
6' 3" 270 lbs
Scouting Report
Tough guy to find much of a scouting report on. He seems to throw in the mid to upper 80's with his fastball and has topped out around 91 MPH.

Cincinnati Reds 12th Round: Shedric Long - Catcher - Jacksonville High School (AL)
5' 10" 175 lbs.
Scouting Report
Long has a very strong arm and has had pop times in the 1.85-2.0 range.
Cincinnati Reds 13th Round: Evan Mitchell - RHP - Mississippi State
6' 2" 175 lbs.
Scouting Report
A big arm, Mitchell can throw in the mid 90's at times with a good curveball and a change up that lacks behind the other two pitches. He has struggled with his control though.

Cincinnati Reds 14th Round: Willie Abreu - OF - Mater Academy Charter School (FL)
6' 3" 210 lbs.
Scouting Report
Abreu profiles as a corner outfielder with the arm to play right field. His offense is built around above-average raw power that he can use to all fields at times, but there are concerns about his ability to hit for average.

Cincinnati Reds 15th Round: Jarrett Freeland - Catcher - Parkview High School - (GA)
6' 6" 206 lbs.
Scouting Report
Listed anywhere from 6' 6" to 6' 8" tall, he was also a pitcher in high school who could throw mid 90's at times, but had Tommy John surgery in the spring. It wouldn't surprise me to see him try pitching if he signs. He has also played third in high school. I can't imagine him remaining at catcher at that size.
Cincinnati Reds 16th Round: Fabian Roman - RHP - Lubbock Christian University
6' 0" 180 lbs
Scouting Report
He has topped out with his fastball at 94 MPH. He didn't appear in a game this year for Lubbock Christian University and spent time pitching at junior colleges the previous three seasons.

Cincinnati Reds 17th Round: Dalton Carter - CF - Winder Barrow High School (GA)
6' 2" 200 lbs.
No Scouting Report currently available
Cincinnati Reds 18th Round: Joe Mantoni - RHP - Marrimack College
5' 10" 210 lbs.
Scouting Report
Mantoni throws a fastball, change up and a curveball.

Cincinnati Reds 19th Round: Alex Krupa - CF - Greenwood Community High School (IN)
5' 9" 165 lbs.
Scouting Report
Krupa has plus to plus-plus speed from the left side. From watching the video below it looks like he has enough bat speed to have some gap power, but he needs to work on his swing some to get to the point where he can use it consistently.

Cincinnati Reds 20th Round: Morgan Lofstrom - Catcher - Mt Boucherie Secondary School (Canada)
6' 1" 185 lbs
Scouting Report
Lofstrom has a nice looking left handed swing, though it can get a tad long at times. He has been clocked as high as 86 MPH on the mound, so his arm should play behind the plate.
