Watch Now: 2020 MLB Draft: What To Watch In Rounds Two Through Five (1:09)

Major League Baseball will launch its 2020 amateur draft on Wednesday, June 10, and will complete the five-round sprint on Thursday, June 11. The spread of the novel coronavirus required the draft to be held virtually instead of in Omaha, Nebraska alongside the College World Series. The owners' desire to slash costs, meanwhile, led to the draft being shortened from 40 rounds to five.

Nevertheless, CBS Sports has and will continue to cover this year's draft. Previously, we've ranked the top 25 position players, the top 25 pitchers, and the top 50 overall prospects in this year's class. We've also covered the most polarizing prospects in the class, and explained why someone from this year's class might make their professional debut in the Show.

With the No. 12 overall pick in the draft, the Cincinnati Reds selected outfielder Austin Hendrick out of West Allegheny High School   in Pennsylvania. Here's R.J. Anderson's take on Hendrick, who was his No. 10 overall prospect on his big board: 

The most notable baseball alum from West Allegheny High School is Scott Patterson, who played Luke on Gilmore Girls. Hendrick could usurp Patterson if he someday lands the role of cleanup hitter. His explosive swing lends itself to an approach that sees him trade contact for power. Hendrick scorched good competition last summer, posting absurd exit velocities along the way, and that performance ought to protect him against the typical cold-weather state bias. Not every team has the stomach for his swing-and-miss tendencies, and it's easy to envision him becoming a left-handed Clint Frazier, but that isn't the worst outcome by any means.
