Out of Wake Forest, a strong junior season wiped away a so-so sophomore year. The Reds saw potential, and drafted him early in the 2nd, though a little under slot, at 1.8 million dollars.Fairchild did plenty in Billings in 2017 to earn a spot on the Dayton Dragons to begin 2018. He continued to hit there, racking up a .277/.377/.460 line. He stole 17 bases in the Midwest League, while walking 31 times and striking out 65 times in 276 plate appearances.Daytona was not as friendly to the second rounder Willie Stargell Jersey , where he only slashed .250/.306/.350 in 242 PA at the higher level, striking out another 63 times as opposed to only 17 walks. The FSL is an adjustment, to be sure, but I’m sure the Reds would like to see some more plate discipline as the second round junior draftee rose up the ranks.Still, Fairchild does a lot of things well. While the tools don’t necessarily jump off the page, he still has plenty of speed, and it shows both on the basepaths and in the field. If he sticks in centerfield, he can make his fringe-average power work. If he improves on his swing and miss tendencies and also taps into his power a bit more, he should be able to stick anywhere.Regardless, he’ll probably get another go with the Tortugas to begin the season.Mike Siani, 19, OFHighest 2018 Level: Rookie (Greeneville)Eye-Poppingest Fact: .288/.351/.386 slash line over 205 plate appearances. He’s like really good at playing the defense.Most Worrisome Fact: .98 ISO and he didn’t pick up many steals.Alias(es): Mike Trout Siani, Mike Salami, Say It Ain’t SianiBB-Ref PageWhen picking the new guy to put on the list I kept thinking to myself http://www.piratesfanproshop.com/authentic-josh-bell-jersey , “Don’t pick the young guy that’s in lower level rookie ball. Just don’t do it.” Well, I did it and I’m not ashamed. I’m gonna dream big on this kid because he’s got some killer tools in his arsenal. Mike Siani was considered a high potential draft pick that should have went earlier than the 4th round but a lot of teams figured he’d go to college. However, the Reds threw some big money at him ($2,000,000) which almost no youngster turns down. It’s real fun to see what the Reds do with their draft bonus pool money. They’ve been pretty creative.What is exciting about Siani is that Mike Trout is his favorite player so of course he’s going to turn into Mike Trout. Definitely. Siani is lauded for being one of the best defensive center fielders in not only last year’s draft but probably in all of minor league baseball at any level. He’s got legit, plus skills across the board sporting great range, an amazing arm (90+ MPH pitcher in high school), and a nifty glove. Scouts believe that he’ll also probably keep his above average speed. The only knock on him is that scouts were mixed on how well he would hit. He’s not a real big guy right now, but there is some belief he could put on twenty pounds or so without losing a step.In 2018, he was promoted to hit against college aged hitters and fared pretty well (see the Eye-Poppingest Facts). He didn’t hit for really any power but showed a mature approach at the plate that I don’t think many expected. Obviously, his talents are in the field but if he can continue to hit (and find some power) he’s going to be a top prospect in no time. The smart bet would be that he starts the year in instructional league and then starts the year in Billings. However, I’d be real interested to see if the Reds are more aggressive and just let him sink or swim in Dayton. They did the same thing pretty much with Taylor Trammell and that worked out pretty good.Mariel Bautista, OF, 21Highest 2018 Level: Rookie (Billings)Eye-Poppingest Fact: K% (12.4%) with a .211 ISO is yee-fuckin’-hawMost Worrisome Fact: He’s not yet played full season baseball at this point Felipe Vazquez Jersey , and is now 21 years old.Alias(es): Maury, Drax the DestroyerBB-Ref PageMariel was signed as a 17 year old out of the Dominican Republic way back in 2014, and, you know, he’s been slow to really put himself on the Reds prospect map. He’s done so now.Mariel’s jumping in here because it’s worth it, based on what little we’ve seen. He was listed 21st on MLBPipeline’s list as late as whenever they updated that thing (probably mid-season?). He got 233 PA as a 20 year old at Billings this season and hit 8 HR with a .330/.386/.541 slash line. That’s right in line with a +.300 average for his “pro” career, but he finally tapped into his power in a meaningful way, bopping 24 extra base hits as well.The athleticism put him on the Reds radar to begin with. At 6’3” and a frame to build on, with what’s reported as speed for days, he seems like the Reds next five-toolsy player to dream on. Except, in this case, he doesn’t necessarily have to fix a strike out problem. How many hits will the NL MVP front-runner have today?"Milwaukee Brewers OF Christian Yelich currently leads the National League in slugging percentage, OPS, and OPS+ Sean Rodriguez Jersey , and he largely has the Cincinnati Reds pitching staff to thank. His cycle on Monday in the series opener was his second such cycle against the Reds this season, which sets a new MLB precedent. All told, he’s managed 24 hits in 48 PA with 7 dingers against Cincinnati just this season, good for a behemoth .500/.556/1.104 (1.660 OPS) line that is so good it has decimals in places you don’t expect them to be and makes the entire thing look completely surreal.Well, the Reds will try to retire he and his Milwaukee brethren in a bit more efficient fashion on Tuesday, or at least the Chicago Cubs and the rest of the teams fighting for NL playoff spots sure hope they will. And, they’ll turn to reliever Michael Lorenzen for the start, the first time since the 2015 season that the powerful righty will do so.Milwaukee will counter with Chase Anderson while boasting a 3.0 game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals for home field advantage in the first Wild Card spot. The Brewers enter play today 2.5 games behind the Cubs in the NL Central, too.First pitch is again set for 7:40 PM ET.Cincinnati LineupMilwaukee Lineup
