Gone from ‘prospect status’ are the likes of Jonathan India, Tyler Stephenson, Jose Barrero, Vlad Gutierrez, and Tony Santillan, each of whom donned the jersey of the Cincinnati Reds for enough time during the 2021 season to graduate to the ranks of Big Leaguers.
That’s a tremendous amount of talent that moved up to the top level of the system since we last ran our Community Prospect Rankings. That kind of matriculation would have, in many years, left a pretty desolate farm system in its wake. Despite the overall frugality of the team’s ownership to augment what’s still around at the big league level, however, the front office and scouts deserve a good bit of credit for making sure there’s actually still a whole lot of excellent, excellent talent on the Reds farm.
