Picking ninth in the 2025 MLB Draft on Sunday, who the Reds will end up selecting is more up for grabs than when they took Chase Burns last year with the second overall pick. That hasn't altered the approach for Cincinnati's scouting department as it formulated its plan.

Cincinnati Reds 3B prospect Sal Stewart hit .306 with 10 home runs and a .377 on-base percentage in 80 games for Double-A Chattanooga.

The best start of the four Chase Burns has logged so far for the Cincinnati Reds wasn't enough to spur the team a win.

For Fraley, who previously described his injury as a partially torn labrum, it marks the return of a player who doesn't want to miss what the second half of the season could hold for the Reds. He'll continue to try to improve his ailment during the second half of the season.

The Cincinnati Reds selected 17-year-old shortstop Steele Hall ninth overall in the 2025 MLB Draft. Hall comes out of Hewitt-Trussville High School in Alabama.

Ethan Moore was the third Tennessee baseball shortstop signee taken in the 2025 MLB Draft. He joined Billy Carlson and Steele Hall.
