MIAMI –– Since the Cincinnati Reds drafted shortstop prospect Matt McLain in the first round of the 2021 MLB Draft, the front office has moved him through the farm system as quickly and as aggressively as any Reds’ position player prospect over the last decade.
Now, the Reds will have one of the youngest shortstops in MLB and a key piece of their young core in the starting lineup.
The Reds plan to call up McLain on Monday, a source confirmed to The Enquirer. As the Reds look to build around a young core of players in MLB, McLain represents the first of their young prospects to make it to the big leagues.
