After a mostly banner year across the farm in 2023, the 2024 season for the young (and future) crop of Cincinnati Reds didn’t exactly take a collective step forward.
There were injuries galore to both the rookies that graduated off last year’s Community Prospect Rankings and to many who ranked prominently, while Noelvi Marte - last year’s #1 overall pick in the CPR - was suspended 80 games and never got going after returning.
That said, there’s still a whole lot of talent down on the Cincinnati farm, even if many of the best and brightest are in need of bounce-back seasons in 2025.
