2026 Reds Top Prospects Deep Dive

Geoff Pontes and JJ Cooper are back to start our series of 30 MLB Farm System Deep Dives. We are beginning with the Cincinnati Reds, a team that has produced a lot of pitching, plus Elly De La Cruz, in recent years. What does the farm system have in store for 2026 and beyond?

(02:00) Who is No. 1 and how easy was that choice?

(10:25) How is this system better/worse than last year?

(17:00) Who do we project to be No. 1 next year?

(21:10) What are the Reds good at developing?

(25:30) Diving deeper into how the Reds have succeeded at developing pitching prospects.
