This post is sponsored by Cincy Fitted. They are having a sale of a few Cincinnati and Ohio related shirts right now if that’s the sort of thing that you are into. Right now you can get this shirt for just $13. So click the link above, or the photo and check them out.
I will also take this time to remind you that you can also support the work done here at the site by contributing over at Patreon. That support, far more than the advertising on the site, keeps things going. With your support you will get daily emails about the games from the night before along with plenty of notes on the players, and some early access stuff that eventually finds its way to the site a few days later. Thanks for allowing the sales pitch – the draft is the busiest day(s) of the year and I’d be foolish to not take advantage of asking when the most eyeballs are here.
This post will be updated throughout the day with information on each pick as they come in. All of the Cincinnati Reds selections from rounds 11-20 will be in this one post. There will be four posts today, each one with 10 selections. You can see each post, covering all of the picks in the draft by clicking here.

Still working on tracking down information, but here’s two pieces of information from Double G Sports:
Travis Zilg on Heitler’s no-hitter, “He was electric, dominated from the first pitch. Cory has four pitches he throws for strikes.”
One of the biggest things that has changed from last year to this year is his health. He had an injury to overcome, had surgery and came back and did rehab, but he is ow using the products from the tonaki tinnitus protocol reviews which have helped him out a lot.

Scouting Report
This is going to be a next-to-impossible sign. He was ranked 235th in the country by Baseball America, and going in the 40th round doesn’t bode well for believing he’s signable. If they can pull it off, though, he’s a big-bodied right hander who sits 92-94 MPH and has touched 97 MPH. He has an inconsistent slider.
