and catch-and-throw skills. A first-year starter, he threw out 33 percent of attempted base stealers this season while handling a top-level pitching staff. Fleury wioll take a walk. He’s patient and has some power. Although Fleury lacks a standout tool, he is a sound all-around player who was impressive in the Cape Cod League.

Scouts report Fleury is a real leader and handles pitching staffs well. His arm is at least solid average, probably a tick above.

He is 6-1, 202 pounds, 21 and from Marietta, Ga. He is a Braves fan, or was until today. His dad played SS at Cornell.

Fleury posted a line of 12-59-.315 .404 .578. He struck out 63 times and walked 37. He had a very strong .991 fielding percentage.

He signed to play SS and pitch at North Carolina State. He is 6-2, 195 and is considered signable. Tuttle had a significant jump in velocity this spring, consistently throwing 90-93 and often 95-95. He has reached 97. Tuttle offers a sweepy, sinking slider that is very promising. His curve is slow and below average. His change is below average, too.

He throws across his body, causing his command to be inconsistent. He lands on a stiff front leg, sometimes forcing pitches up. Pro coaching should remedy those problems. If he delevops a change, he could be a terrific pick.

and the player and pitcher of the year in the Summit League. He is 6-1, 195 and a senior, so should be an easy sign.

His line was 9-1, 2.50 ERA. 86 1/3 IP, 132 K, 25 BB, .196 BAA. His 13.77 Ks per game ranked second nationally. Serrano appeared in 20 games, making nine starts. He was good against strong competition, throwing well against Arkansas, Arizona State, Rice and Wichita State. He is intelligent and a transfer from Cypress JC.

He is compared to Lenny Dykstra because of his size and abilities. He is the best player on a very good CSFU team. Fellhauer plays gold glove defense, can come in or go back on balls, features excellent speed and range and has a strong, accurate arm.

Fellhauer batted .299 on the 2008 National Team. His grandpa played for the St. Louis Browns and his dad was drafted by the A’s. Fellhauer is a line drive hitter with little power, but has a quick bat. At worst he figures to be a foourth OF, but could very well be a starting CF even on a championship club.

His line this season was 6-55-.399 .485 .532. He’ll take one for the team, having been hit by 16 pitches. He had 26 walks and 42 Ks, stole 18 bases in 29 attempts and featured a .985 fielding percentage. I really like this pick.

but projects to move to a corner. He’s very toolsy, but hasn’t learned how to be a complete player. Silva is 6-foot, 185. He’s athletic, runs well and has a strong arm. Silva has plenty of raw power, but tries to pull virtually everything and often strike outs, pulling his head out as he swings.

Pearl is the top prospect in Washington. A converted 3B, this was Pearl’s first year of pitching full time. He profiles as a reliever. His inconsistenty drove scouts mad. Some days Pearl threw 93-94, while others he dipped to the upper 80s.

Pearl has a promising fastball and a slider that at times has shown great potential. He adjusts well, has a fresh arm and is durable.

Pearl is 6-1, 190. His line this year was 1-5, 3.05. In 23 games, 21 in relief, he had 8 saves, 38 IP, allowed 33 hits, struck out 40 and walked 17. Foes batted .229 and hit two home runs. He had a 1.93 ERA in 10 games a a junior.

He has signed at Georgia Tech and figured to go as high as the fourth round. Tenth-round money probably won’t do it, so the Reds likely would have to go over slot. He is from the same HS that produced supplemental first rounder Lance Lynn in 2005 and Drew Storen a first rounder this year.

Barnhart hits well from either side of the plate and shows power from the left side. He is 5-10, 180, a fact that bothers some scouts who don’t project him to get much bigger. Others are fine with that and project him to be a regular at the MLB level. Barnhart is athletic and moves well behind the plate, although his speed is below average. His arm is solid and his hands are good enough for a move to 2B. He is a hard worker and is intelligent.

He’s probably a tough sign, as he has signed with Wake Forest. So much for all the little guys. Johnson is a thick 6-3, 230. He throws an 89-91 mph fastball and uses his legs well. More velocity is projected. His slider could be quite good. His curve needs work. Johnson features OK command.

as a pro because of his fringe-average arm. He has played some CF, though. Garton is a well-built, 6-2, 215-pound Canadian who has signed with Florida International. He is strong and plays with a lot of energy. Garton features above average raw power. He was pegged as high as the seventh round.

He consistently throws in the low 90s, but also consistently gets hit. He features a decent slider and change, so potential is there. Christiani throws strikes, sometimes maybe too many. A native of Linden, N.J., he starred for powerhouse Seton Hall Prep and was the 128th-ranked prospect in the nation as a HS senior.

Christiani went 6-6 with a 5.00 ERA this season. In 18 G, 11 starts, he had 1 CG and 1 SHO. He threw 68 innings, allowing 76 hits, a .281 BAA, struck out 69 and walking 19. He was better his three previous years but never stellar, although he was tough in the Cape Cod League.

Cleveland drafted him in the 32nd round last year.

He went 3-8 with a 5.35 ERA this season. In 16 G, 12 GS, and 72 IP, he allowed 66 hits, Kd 65 and walked 61. Foes batted .245. He hit 13 batters and threw nine wild pitches. Crabbe came to Westmont form Sabino HS in Tucson.

was a starter, but went 4-3 with an 0.93 ERA on the mound, where scouts favor him. Walczak throws 90-93 but is new to pitching, so his off-speed stuff needs a lot of work. He is 6-2, 190 and has a physical build. A senior, he has been called “intriguing.”

Walczak is a native of Painesville, Ohio. Opponents batted just .208 against him this season.

Southern Miss signee. He is known for his plus arm and leadership ability. He blocks balls well. A switch-hitter, his bat is behind his defense.

Deven is regarded as a better all-around player, which says something as Chris was a first-rounder. Baseball America rates Marrero as the 123rd-best overall player in the country, high school or college.

Marrero (6-1, 180) easily can remain at SS, where he is silky smooth with the glove. His hands are above average and his arm is plus. He is regarded by scouts as “a baseball player.” Marrero isn’t a stellar hitter at present but projects well. His swing can get long, but it also projects for some power.

Marrero’s line was 8-25-.400. In 110 AB, he had 44 hits, scored 33 runshad six doubles and stole eight bases. He has a strong inclination to play at Arizona State, where he likely would start right away. That means he’ll need big money to sign.

Perez is a better present hitter than is Marrero, but doesn’t have Marrero’s glove. Still, Perez is quite good defensively and features a 60 arm on the 20-80 scale, so he could stay at SS. He also is capable at 2B, so maybe the Reds just drafted their future MIF.

Perez (5-10, 165) has signed at Miami. He’s a smart player and has surprising pop from each side of the plate. That sometimes works against him, as he often tries to hit home runs rather than use the whole field. He isn’t expected to get a lot bigger and is a fringe-average runner.

Perez went 8-22-.452 this season, with 43 runs and 38 hits in 84 AB. He had 5 doubles, 1 triple and 34 stolen bases.

but he swings a nice bat. He led UCSB with a .343 average this season. A 5-10, 190-pound infielder, he went 6-45-.343 .411 .545 with 16 doubles, one triple and one stolen base in two attempts. A junior, he might opt to return for his senior season and improve his draft prospects next year.

He pitched very little this season after having surgery to remove calcium deposits in his elbow. He played 3B and hit .400, but his future is on the mound. He’s a Tennessee signee and likely will wear orange instead of red this fall.

out of high school in St. Louis. He was regarded as the best HS player in Missouri in 2007. He transferred to Grayson County CC, where his left-handed power has flourished. He’s strong and has leverage in his swing. He plays the OF, but is better suited for 1B. He has a strong arm, though, having hit 90 on the radar gun.

He also played wide receiver for Tech’s potent football team. Richburg hit a ton, leading the Red Raiders with a line of 14-60-.341 .454 .620. He Kd 42 times and walked 37. He was 3-5 in SB. His glove is strong, as his fielding percentage was .990.

Perez and Marrero are excellent selections. If either signs, it will be a coup. If Cincinnati gets them both, this draft looks very good. Fellhauer is a terrific pick, too, and Tuttle shows great potential.

Yes, there are roster filler guys, but I’m thrilled to see the Reds take a chance on some high-profile middle of the diamond guys.

I’ll be back tomorrow with a look at rounds 31 through 50. We’ll see if the Reds pull another surprise or two.

And thanks for pinch-hitting BK. Well done.
