Horn Joins Reds
Nebraska Pitcher Ty Horn Selected by Cincinnati Reds in Third Round of MLB Draft
Nebraska pitcher Ty Horn is headed to professional baseball. The Cincinnati Reds selected him in the third round of the MLB draft on Saturday, making him the No. 94 overall pick, according to Omaha World-Herald.
Horn Lands in Cincinnati with Third-Round Selection
Horn was one of the top college arms available in this year's draft class. The Reds grabbed him 94th overall, a spot that reflects strong confidence in his potential as a starting pitcher. Third-round picks typically receive signing bonuses in the range of $500,000 to $1 million, though the exact figure for Horn has not been reported.
The pick adds another Nebraska Cornhusker to the professional ranks. Horn's selection marks a significant moment for the University of Nebraska's baseball program, which has been building its reputation as a pipeline for pro talent.
Horn's Path from Lincoln to the Pros
Horn developed into one of Nebraska's most reliable starters during his college career. His ability to throw strikes and miss bats made him a consistent presence in the Cornhuskers' rotation. Those tools caught the attention of pro scouts well before draft day.
The Reds have been aggressive in targeting college pitchers who can move quickly through the minor league system. Horn fits that profile as an older, more polished arm compared to high school prospects.
Cincinnati Builds Its Pitching Pipeline with Young Arms
Cincinnati has been focused on restocking its farm system with quality pitching. Adding Horn in the third round gives the organization another arm to develop alongside other recent draft picks. The Reds' minor league system has been a work in progress as the team eyes a return to contention.
Horn will likely begin his pro career in one of Cincinnati's lower-level affiliates. From there, the path to the big leagues depends on how quickly he adapts to professional hitters and the grind of a full minor league season.
