SENATOBIA – The highest draft choice in school history and the 10th highest in MACJC history, Northwest's Cody Reed will fly to Kansas City on Tuesday and sign with the organization that drafted him 46th overall in the 2013 MLB First-Year Player Draft.

Reed confirmed via text message on Sunday that he plans to forgo college (signed with Ole Miss in November), sign with the Royals on Tuesday and then fly out to Idaho on Wednesday. He will join the Idaho Falls Chukars, the Royals' Rookie Affiliate.

Jordan Barnes, drafted in the 15th round by the New York Yankees, will also sign on Monday in Tampa. Tanner Cable, taken in the 26th round by the Blue Jays, has not made a decision yet.
