CINCINNATI -- Pitcher Tyler Mahle's performances in 2017 were too good to not give him his first big league promotion to the Reds. Third baseman Nick Senzel could give the organization a similar scenario next season. Both clearly have bright futures ahead.
Mahle was named the Reds' Minor League pitcher of the year, and Senzel was named the team's Minor League player of the Year by MLBPipeline.com.
Senzel is the Reds' No. 1 and the No. 8 overall prospect. Mahle is the organization's No. 4 prospect and No. 77 in the Top 100.
