On Friday afternoon Jesse Winker continued to just tear up Arizona Fall League pitching as he went 2-4 with a triple, walk, run, RBI and a stolen base. The outfielder has now played in 10 games and he has reached base at least twice in eight of them while hitting .368/.479/.632 with two doubles, a triple, two homers, nine walks and nine strikeouts in 48 plate appearances.
Winker is among the league leaders in the Arizona Fall league in several categories. Here is where he ranks:
| Stat | Total | Rank |
| AVG | .368 | 4th |
| OBP | .479 | 4th |
| SLG | .632 | 2nd |
| OPS | 1.111 | 2nd |
| Runs | 10 | 2nd |
| HR | 2 | 6th |
| RBI | 13 | 1st |
| Walks | 9 | 4th |
To say that he is getting it done would be an understatement. He continues to show that he’s an elite level hitter, even among other big time hitting prospects.
Over at Fangraphs yesterday their prospect maven Kiley McDaniel tackled a few Reds questions. You can check out the entire chat at the link, but here are two of the ones that stand out:
Comment From Jay: How far has R. Stephenson’s stock fallen? Is he likely to end up in the bullpen?
Kiley McDaniel: Nope, just had a kinda lost year this year. Didn’t make a lot of progress in command and developing starter traits.
Comment From Scott: Who is an under the radar prospect that everyone should be talking about but no one is?
Kiley McDaniel: About to write up Aristides Aquino for the Reds. The Reds LOVE this kid and scouts tend to agree. 60 arm/power, RF fit, can really hit and has projection.
It seems that Aquino is no longer much of a secret.
