AAAA Affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds
Righty Chase Petty has the stuff to potentially end up #1 on this list at some point. He also had a poor enough 2025 season that a repeat of said production could see him off this list altogether by 2027. Here’s hoping the uber-talented starter figured it out over the winter and shows up to […]

Chase Petty did not have a good 2025 season. At the big league level, he was roughed up for 14 R (13 ER) in just 6.0 IP, with a trio of long balls yielded – and walked more (8) than he struck out (7). Down at AAA Louisville, he was tagged for 91 R (80 […]

Tyson Lewis saw his name etched in the annals of internet history earlier today by claiming the #8 spot in this year’s Red Reporter Community Prospect Rankings. Congrats to Tyson on the incredible honor! By now you know the new voting rules here. There will be an embedded poll at the bottom of this post […]

I do not get the impression that Tyson Lewis will be the #8 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system this time next year. The freshly minted 20 year old spent his age-19 season split between the Arizona Complex League and with the Daytona Tortugas in A-ball down in the Florida State League, turning heads with […]

The quest of the Cincinnati Reds to never again be last while feigning interest in actually being first continued over the last week whether they liked it, or not. Off the board came Kyle Tucker, first, whose signature with the Los Angeles Dodgers further solidified their modern Evil Empire status. The New York Mets, meanwhile, […]

Steele Hall was just taken 9th overall in the most recent MLB Draft, turned 18 years of age, and found himself ranked 7th on the 2026 Community Prospect Rankings at Red Reporter dot com. Pretty impressive six months there, kid! After one of the tightest voting rounds in CPR history, we move now towards voting […]

We have already had several incredibly close voting results in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings, but the race for spot #7 was by far the most ridiculous. The longer I left the poll open, the more confusing it got. At various points Tuesday, each of Chase Petty, Tyson Lewis, and Steele Hall were the top […]

Cam Collier came off the board with the #6 ranking in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings of the top prospects in the Cincinnati Reds system, and is quite well deserving of the honor. Very excited to see what he can do in 2026 in what hopes to be a full, healthy season again. Now, we […]

It’s the dream of all baseball players to have a singular, meteoric rise from the moment they turn professional until their on top of the baseball world. It’s surely the dream of the teams that select them, too. More often than not, it’s a rockier road, and certainly not a linear one. That’s been the […]

Edwin Arroyo has a chance to fight his way onto the Cincinnati Reds roster at some point in 2026, and his elite defense likely means he’ll stick there for quite some time. That was good enough for him to take home the #5 spot in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings, and now we move on […]

It is impossible to start this conversation without highlighting that the agent for Cincinnati Reds superstar, Scott Boras, has spent an entire generation advising his best and brightest stars to eschew contract offers early in their careers in pursuit of more money down the line in free agency. We witnessed that just last winter with […]

Edwin Arroyo returned to the playing field for the 2025 season with AA Chattanooga after his 2024 season was lost to a shoulder injury (and subsequent surgery), and the results were more or less what you’d expect to see from a talented player with that kind of rust. On the whole, he hit .284/.345/.371 with […]

In losing Gavin Lux to the Tampa Bay Rays in last night’s three-team deal (that looped in the Los Angeles Angels), the Cincinnati Reds did not really lose an infielder. They did not really lose an outfielder, either. They lost a left-handed bat. That’s what Lux had become on this particular Reds roster – no […]

We thought the deal to acquire Gavin Lux from the Los Angeles Dodgers this time last offseason was an odd one for the Cincinnati Reds. Lux, a former top prospect at short, had been moved off the position due to his lack of defensive prowess, and his bat had never yet lived up to the […]

Hector Rodriguez emerged as the #4 prospect in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings in one of the closest votes in recent memory, claiming a slight plurality on a very talented, very crowded ballot. Now, it’s time to figure out who will follow him on this year’s list! Per usual, there will be a poll embedded […]

In the first somewhat surprise of the 2026 Community Prospect Rankings, outfielder Hector Rodriguez has claimed the #4 spot in one of the tightest votes I can remember. In fact, I let it run a few hours longer than originally intended since on three separate occasions this morning I checked the results only to find […]

Major League Baseball’s international signing period officially opened on Thursday morning, and the Cincinnati Reds wasted little time in making official a major deal that had been long in the works. Outfielder Angel Nunez, Jr. put pen to paper on a deal featuring a $3 million signing bonus, as the fine folks at MLB Pipeline […]

Rhett Lowder took home the #3 spot in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings, doing so in a pretty dominant fashion. Next up, we’ll figure out who deserves spot #4 on the list with another crowded ballot full of high draft picks and well regarded risers within the system. There will be an embedded Google Form […]

The Cincinnati Reds made Rhett Lowder their 1st round pick out of Wake Forest University back in the summer of 2023. He didn’t make his professional debut until the 2024 season, yet by that season’s end he was slicing up eyeballs on the mound in Great American Ball Park. His meteoric rise, polish, and early […]

Alfredo Duno took home the honors of being ranked 2nd in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings, and now we move on to the candidates for spot #3. There’s an embedded Google Form with polling that should show up at the bottom of this post, but if you’ve found this through a search engine that strips […]

As voting for the 2nd ranked prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system wrapped this morning, it was clear that Alfredo Duno was going to take home that honor. So, he did – with almost 51% of the vote despite a crowded ballot! Duno defeated RHP Rhett Lowder in what was pretty clearly a two-horse race, […]

At the time it was arbitrarily decided to end the nearly two-day voting window for the #1 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system in this, our 2026 Community Prospect Rankings, Sal Stewart was the runaway victor with over half of the 266 responses. Here are the official results from the new voting mechanism that we […]

The bullpen the Cincinnati Reds leaned on heavily during the 2025 season was obviously headed for a complete overhaul this winter. Nick Martinez, Emilio Pagan, Scott Barlow, and Brent Suter were all headed for free agency, while the likes of Ian Gibaut also ended up out of the organization after some administrative decisions. Pagan re-signed, […]

A cumulative .201/.278/.389 batting line across 1067 big league PA isn’t going to tear the roof off your expectations for a baseball player, not after that player having plied his trade in a home ball park for parts of four seasons that’s notorious for inflating offensive production. Especially not when that player is also already […]
