SAN FRANCISCO -- Both Jesse Winker and Amir Garrett took steps forward in their development in 2015, and the Reds prospects both closed their year on a strong note.
Winker, an outfielder for Double-A Pensacola and Cincinnati's No. 1 prospect, was named the organization's Position Player Prospect of the Year by MLB Pipeline on Thursday. Garrett, the No. 3 prospect in the organization and with Class A Advanced Daytona, was named the organization's Pitching Prospect of the Year.
To be considered for the honors, players must have been on their organization's Top 30 Prospects list at some point this year, and spent at least half the season in the Minors.
