After a season when the Cincinnati Reds produced the National League Rookie of the Year and received contributions from several rookies, the club is hopeful it's building a sustainable pipeline of Major League talent.
The Reds had some turnover on their player development staff since the end of last season. Kyle Boddy, the director of pitching, and C.J. Gillman, the minor league hitting coordinator, were not brought back. Some staffers were plucked by other clubs, like rookie-level development coach Jason Camilli becoming the Phillies' assistant hitting coach.
Despite the changes, the Reds are confident in their pitching and hitting philosophies to develop prospects in their farm system.
