Here's some more on Brutti. 

Most interesting 2022 Draft day 2 & 3 picks

---

Not every star is taken in the first few rounds of the MLB Draft. Plenty of talent has come from later rounds, including Albert Pujols, Wade Boggs, Nolan Ryan and Mike...

REDS: RHP Ben Brutti, 11th round, South Kingstown H.S., Rhode Island
Brutti is a high school player with a commitment to the University of South Florida, which could make him tougher to sign. But the organization was optimistic it could happen. Their scouts saw the 6-foot-3, 200-pound right-hander touching 97 mph with a plus-slider while pitching from a lower, three-quarters slot. While his delivery has brought some skeptics, scouts also like that it’s been repeatable and that Brutti throws strikes. Another high school selection, outfielder Mason Neville in the 19th round from Nevada, is also interesting because he’s the No. 102-ranked prospect by MLB.com. But Neville has a commitment to the University of Arkansas, which could make his signing a little more difficult. The Reds felt it was worth the risk to pick both high school players on Day 3.

Reds probably didn't feel there was much risk there....we'll see.  Having formerly hung out with a bunch of MLB scouts, part of their job is to know, sometimes via face to face commitment, whether or not the bonus will be enough.  Brutti can change his mind, but it's pretty certain he had a number and the Reds know that number.  But things can change, we'll see.
