Reds Lock In Their Future: Top Pick from 2025 MLB Draft Officially Signs Multi-Million Dollar Deal
Cincinnati has officially signed its 2025 first-round draft selection, bringing one of the most promising young infielders in the country into the fold. The player, originally part of the class of 2026, accelerated his path to the pros by reclassifying and graduating from Hewitt-Trussville High School (AL) a year early. Before even stepping on a professional diamond, he had already earned Mr. Baseball honors in Alabama and secured a commitment to the University of Tennessee.
That journey reached a major milestone on Friday, when the Reds announced the signing just before their weekend series in New York. The reported deal is worth $5.75 million—coming in under the slot value of $6.513 million—giving Cincinnati added financial flexibility to pursue additional top-tier talent from this year’s draft class.
With the paperwork now complete, the young infielder officially begins his professional career, trading a college diamond for a future in Major League Baseball.
