The Cincinnati Reds have a bevy of medium/high-risk and high-upside prospects in their farm system. Some of these young players will have a chance to showcase their talents against advanced competition at spring training in Goodyear, Arizona.
In this piece, we’ll take a look at five of these players and why fans should keep a close eye on them throughout their stay in camp. Some names will be familiar to fans, but each of these players, regardless of his name recognition (or lack thereof), deserves a great deal of attention this spring.
The group will take us through the starting rotation and the outfield, and all five players could develop into major pieces of the Reds’ blueprint for the future.
To begin, we’ll take a look at a relative newcomer to the American professional ranks, Raisel Iglesias.
