2026 Reds Prospects Deep Dive

Geoff Pontes and JJ Cooper are back to start our series of 30 MLB Farm System Deep Dives. We are beginning with the Cincinnati Reds, a team that has produced a lot of pitching, plus Elly De La Cruz, in recent years. What does the farm system have in store for 2026 and beyond? (02:00) Who is No. 1 and how easy was that choice? (10:25) How is this system better/worse than last year? (17:00) Who do we project to be No. 1 next year? (21:10) What are the Reds good at developing?
