The season has long been over, and I unfortunately haven’t watched a baseball game in months. What did happen over the last six weeks though was the completion of the write ups for the Cincinnati Reds Top 25 Prospects List. Now that that is finished I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the top tools throughout the system.
There are 17 different categories to look at, including breaking down different tools for starting pitchers and relief pitchers. That second part is a good distinction as the two sets of pitchers are working with very different parameters.
