In his longest outing in nearly three years, Hunter Greene sparkled as he twirled six scoreless innings -- working around three hits and a pair of walks -- while matching a career-high 10 punchouts to pace Double-A Chattanooga's 5-1 victory over the Montgomery Biscuits at Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium on Sunday.

Every team would love to have the next Randy Arozarena, who parlayed a second-half stint with the Rays in 2020 into postseason stardom. Which National League Central prospects have the best chance to seize their own opportunities as the ’21 campaign grinds on? Here’s a look at some of the

Reds No. 2 prospect Hunter Greene brought the heat Wednesday during his first start for the Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts. The second overall pick in the 2017 MLB Draft threw 37 of his 71 total pitches over 100 mph, topping out at 102 mph.

With the 2021 season getting started, here's a look at where the Reds' Top 30 prospects are projected to start the season:

After undergoing a substantial reorganization, Minor League Baseball is embarking upon a new era in 2021. There are now 120 teams competing in 11 newly named leagues, comprising four levels of play (Triple-A, Double-A, High-A and Low-A). This is the 10th in a series of league-by-league articles, highlighting one unique

One first-rounder has barely pitched because he’s coming back from Tommy John surgery. Another first-rounder hasn’t logged many innings because of the shutdown. Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo are about as different as pitchers can be, but one thing they share in common is the excitement surrounding them as they

CINCINNATI -- Eugenio Suárez didn’t want to discuss how he felt about opening the regular season at shortstop until the Reds made their final decision. By Wednesday, that was all done. Suárez will move from his longtime home of third base back to the position he played coming up to

CINCINNATI -- After some infield maneuvering by the Reds a couple of weeks ago, the roster seemed to line up in prospect Jonathan India’s favor. Still, nothing feels better than getting the official word. India has made Cincinnati’s Opening Day roster as its second baseman. “It’s a crazy feeling. It’s

Jacob Hurtubise graduated from the United States Military Academy in June. After scaled-down commencement exercises -- mandatory quarantine, no families in attendance -- the West Point Class of 2020 began service obligations around the world. Hurtubise, a second lieutenant from Zionsville, Ind., has a unique assignment next month. Minor League

CINCINNATI -- Courtesy of MLB Pipeline, the Reds’ Top 30 ranked prospects list was revealed Monday. Once again, pitcher Nick Lodolo was ranked No. 1, with fellow pitcher Hunter Greene following at No. 2.

From top to bottom, things are moving in the right direction for the Reds organization. At the very top, the Major League club finished over .500, albeit in a shortened year, and made the playoffs for the first time since 2013. The sliver lining of the losing seasons, of course,

Most of the time during the latter half of Spring Training, players are getting sent to the Minor League camp. Rarely is it the other way around. There were 11 cuts from Reds camp Friday, but infield prospect Jonathan India and lefty pitcher Brandon Finnegan were added to the big

Behind Eugenio Suárez at third base and Mike Moustakas at second base, the Reds don’t have a ton of depth heading into the 2021 season. If one of those players went down for an extended period, it could mark Jonathan India’s first chance to reach the Major Leagues. One of

Saturday marks the first day off for the Reds since Spring Training got rolling about 2 1/2 weeks ago. There have been no roster cuts and it’s still early in the Cactus League schedule, but this is as good of a time as any to answer questions from Reds fans.

The top-ranked prospect in the Reds organization took the mound Tuesday night against the Angels and delivered a quick sneak-peak into the future. Repeatedly. Left-hander Nick Lodolo flashed his mid-90s fastball and a breaking ball that is still a work in progress, displaying poise and lots of potential. He’s young,

Not since the days when Aroldis Chapman was around had the Reds debuted a pitcher firing triple-digit fastballs so effortlessly. That’s exactly what prospect Hunter Greene did as he made his long-awaited start in a big league Spring Training game. The velocity was certainly impressive during his one inning, even

Reds shortstop prospect Jose Garcia got exactly one month’s worth of time in the Major Leagues during the shortened 2020 season. Garcia jumped from Class A Advanced Daytona to the alternate training site to the big leagues. Even with a vacancy at shortstop, Cincinnati could send Garcia back to the

Reds pitching prospect Hunter Greene has only 21 games of professional experience. Because of a right elbow injury, the right-hander hasn’t pitched in a game that counted statistically since July 26, 2018. None of that has discouraged the 21-year-old Greene from his goal for this year, however. Greene, who was

CINCINNATI -- Like so many Minor Leaguers on the rise, the lost 2020 season because of the COVID-19 pandemic was extremely frustrating for Reds relief prospect Ryan Hendrix. In 2019, Hendrix missed much of that campaign with a right elbow strain. But he was 3-0 with a 2.33 ERA in

The Reds’ 2020-21 international class is headlined by an advanced hitter with plus power potential. According to industry sources, the club has agreed to a deal with outfielder Ariel Almonte, No. 26 on MLB Pipeline’s Top 30 International Prospects List, for $1.85 million. The club has not confirmed the deal.

CINCINNATI -- A large majority of the free-agent class remains available, and that includes the cream of the crop among shortstops. The Reds still have a need at that position, but do they have the means to fill it? Last month, Reds general manager Nick Krall shaved roughly $15 million

The Reds acquired Minor League infielder Leonardo Rivas from the Angels on Thursday as the player to be named to complete Monday’s trade in which they also acquired right-hander Noé Ramirez for right-hander Raisel Iglesias and cash. Rivas, 23, was ranked the Angels' No. 25 prospect by MLB Pipeline. The
