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).

Crook is the cousin of former Major League Angel Pena. He started playing baseball as a teenager, which has left him a bit raw compared to most guys his age. A good athlete with speed he beat around DIII Junior College baseball as he led all of DIII in runs and finished 4th in slugging.

Cincinnati Reds 24th Round Pick: Brett Morales - RHP - Kings High School (FL)
6' 0" 193 lbs.
Scouting Report
He throws his fastball in the low 90's and can hit 94 MPH. His breaking ball is very inconsistent, but at times is an above-average pitch. He also throws a good change up with good tumble. He was projected to go much higher in the draft and will likely be a very tough sign at this point in the draft.

Cincinnati Reds 25th Round Pick: Eduardo (EJ) Garcia - RHP - Alexander High School (TX)
5' 11" 180 lbs.
Scouting Report
He has been as high as 92 MPH with his fastball. He throws a slider, curveball and a change up as well.
Cincinnati Reds 26th Round Pick: Eli White - SS - Wren High School (SC)
6' 2" 175 lbs.
Scouting Report
White has a strong arm at shortstop along with good hands. Offensively he currently has gap power but should grow into more as he fills out his frame some. His swing is quick and smooth.
Cincinnati Reds 27th Round Pick: Zack Collins - C - American Heritage High School (FL)
6' 2" 210 lbs.
Scouting Report
Scouts like his bat and think he could hit for both power and average. Power is his calling card though, where his above-average raw power stands out. Behind the plate though there are concerns that he won't be able to stick. Playing at a corner infield position would be the next logical choice if he can't remain behind the plate. Projected to go much higher in the draft, he could be a tough sign in this position.
