The Cincinnati Reds let Bronson Arroyo pitch batting practice to Aristides Aquino, Brandon Dixon, and Gabriel Guerrero. None of the three batters have much of a chance to make the team following the signing of Desmond Jennings and Ryan Raburn. Arroyo is in a better position than those batters.
Aquino won the Reds’ minor leaguer of the year award for position players in 2016. He is a true slugging right fielder who was second in the Florida State League with 23 home runs for Daytona. He was also second on the Tortugas in both hits and doubles, while also ending up fourth in steals.
