## Resource

The Reds stunned everyone by drafting Moeller High’s Matt Ponatoski in the 19th round—yes, the same kid who’s a Gatorade Player of the Year in both football and baseball and committed to Kentucky to play both. Convincing him to skip college? Probably means handing him a huge bonus. Meanwhile, MLB.com revisited the Reds’ all-time draft gem: Johnny Bench, a WAR titan, 14-time All-Star, and 10-time Gold Glove winner who built a legendary 17-year career with the team.
