There are no minor league games this summer, but the Cincinnati Reds are working to make sure that it’s not a wasted year of development for their prospects.
There are weekly Zoom chats with minor league coordinators. Minor league players are split into smaller groups, so they can have one-on-one chats with a manager, hitting coach or pitching coach. Players communicate regularly with the health and performance staff, which ranges from strength and conditioning coaches to a nutritionist.
