    Chris Burns was the first pitcher taken off the board and No. 2 overall selection out of Wake Forest.

    He was surprised by the selection.

    “I didn’t really know what to think,” he told MLB.com . “I’m just really excited.”

    Burns is the MLB Pipeline’s No. 6 overall prospect.

    He went 10-1 in 16 starts for the Demon Deacons last season with a 2.70 ERA and led college baseball with 191 strikeouts.

    It’s the second straight year the Reds have selected a Wake Forest pitcher. They drafted Rhett Lowder in 2023 with the No. 7 overall selection.
