CINCINNATI — Two years ago, the choice seemed clear: With the second pick in the MLB Draft, the Cincinnati Reds would take whichever of the top two players the Cleveland Guardians didn’t take — Oregon State’s Travis Bazzana or Georgia’s Charlie Condon.The Guardians selected Bazzana with the first pick, so the Reds took … Chase Burns?Two years later, the selection looks more reasonable — Burns is an All-Star and one of the favorites for the National League Cy Young Award. Condon, taken with the third pick by the Colorado Rockies, will be in Philadelphia this weekend as part of the MLB Futures Game.After struggling early in his pro career, Condon is having a breakout season in Triple-A, while Burns’ timeline was accelerated and he’s having a breakout season at the big-league level.“For us, if you’ve got a chance to take a No. 1 starter, go after that guy,” Nick Krall, the Reds’ president of baseball operations, said. “We liked him where we (were drafting). Our scouts liked him. Our analytics department liked him. There was a chance to get a guy who was an anchor to your staff, and you can never have too many of those guys.”Picking 18th this season, the Reds don’t have the advantage of heading into the draft this year knowing they’ll get one of two players.“The differences between the players get smaller and smaller the further you go down on the draft board,” Joe Katuska, the team’s director of amateur scouting, said. “It will often turn into the types of players we generally go after and the type of players we feel we can develop, we tend to lean toward those guys.”
