"There's so much less certainty of the grouping near the top," said Reds director of amateur scouting, Joe Katuska said.

The Cincinnati Reds have a lot of different ways they could go about the ninth pick in the mLB Draft this year. One way that was presented in a recent mock draft has them landing a very highly rated left-handed college pitcher. In Keith Law’s recent mock draft for The Athletic, the Reds select Jamie Arnold, left-handed pitcher from Florida State.

For the first time in three years, it seems unlikely that the Reds will select a right-hander from Wake Forest with their first pick.
