The Cincinnati Reds could not wait to see what Aristides Aquino would do in 2015.
Signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2011, the toolsy outfielder had a breakout summer in 2014 in the Pioneer League, hitting .292/.342/.577 with 16 homers and 21 steals over 71 games. There was genuine excitement in seeing how he would handle the move to full-season ball while turning just 21.
Unfortunately, for both the Reds and Aquino, injury got in the way of finding that out. Aquino was hit by a pitch in late April, breaking a bone in his left forearm.
