PROSPECT: Blake Dunn, OF, Cincinnati Reds
ANALYSIS: The Reds drafted Dunn out of Western Michigan in the 15th round in 2021. He flashed well in his pro debut that year, earning his way to Single-A with a .286/.333/.429 line and five steals over 11 games.
Dunn was an elite athlete in high school, with the opportunity to play multiple sports in college, but he went with baseball. Because of that athleticism, he's very advanced on the defensive end, where he utilizes a double-plus arm and exceptional instincts to track down balls in center and keep runners in place.
After struggling with his contact rate and injuries, he's finally taken off this year, splitting the year nearly even between High-A and Double-A, slashing .312/.419/.489 with 15 home runs and 43 stolen bases.
VERDICT: The athleticism is LOUD with Dunn, but he has to figure himself out and has a deep system of guys in front of him. That said, the Reds lack a true centerfielder right now so if he can keep it up in Triple-A, he may have a shot to succeed. He is a deep dynasty only addition at this point.
