10 Reds Prospects To Know Beyond The Top 30 in 2025

31. Cooper Bowman, 2B/OF. The Reds’ MLB Rule 5 pick via the Athletics will try to earn a roster spot as a speedy bench bat who can play multiple positions. The additions of Gavin Lux and Austin Hays will make his path to sticking with the Reds significantly tougher. Bowman is a plus-plus runner with a knack for stealing bases, and he can play average defense at second base while being below-average but playable at multiple other spots.

32. Carlos Jorge, OF. Jorge was consistently one of the better hitters in every league he played in until he reached High-A Dayton. The 2024 season was his first significant setback as he struggled with recognizing and handling sliders. His move from second base to center field was a revelation, as he showed the athleticism, reads and range to be an above-average center fielder.

33. Jay Allen II, OF. A football/baseball star in high school, Allen has struggled to stay healthy as a pro, although his gamer mentality means he often plays through nagging injuries. He’s a plus runner and an above-average defender at any outfield spot. But his below-average bat and power will have to improve to carve out an MLB role.

34. Yerlin Confidan, OF. After losing much of the 2022 season to a quad strain, and struggling in 2023, Confidan bounced back in 2024, showing the all-fields power he’d flashed in an exceptional 2021 Arizona Complex League season. Confidan needed three years to conquer the Florida State League, so he needs to speed up his development, but he has the power and plate discipline to profile as a right fielder.

35. Adolfo Sanchez, OF. One of the biggest bonus signings of the 2024 international class, Sanchez struggled in his debut in the Dominican Summer League. The Reds have worked on cleaning up his setup, improving his bat path and shortening his swing. He may return to the DSL for a second season, but he still has the tools to be an impact bat in the outfield if everything develops.

36. Rece Hinds, OF. Hinds homered in his MLB debut on July 8, 2024. He followed with another homer in the following game, another three games later and a two-homer game the next day. Having hit five home runs in six games, he was then demoted to Triple-A less than two weeks later. Hinds has top-of-the-scale raw power, but his contact issues explain why the Reds didn’t fully buy into his home run heroics. He hit .208/.282/.376 at Triple-A  Louisville with a 38% strikeout rate. Hinds will have to make much more contact to be a big league regular, but his exceptional power means he could get another callup to take advantage of a hot streak when he’s locked in.

37. Peyton Stovall, 2B. Stovall is a bat-first second baseman who has worked through a couple of significant injuries (a broken foot and a labrum injury). He projects as a multi-position infielder who can play second, third and first base, and if his bat is as good as expected, he could hit enough to fit at any of those three spots.

38. Tristan Smith, LHP. A top prep prospect who opted to head to Clemson, Smith has long battled control questions, but he’s also consistently shown big league quality stuff. He’s a lefty with an above-average 94-96 mph fastball with riding life and a plus slider. He’ll begin as a starter, but he has a solid fallback option as a power lefty reliever.

39. Luke Hayden, RHP. After bouncing between starting and relieving in his first two years of college, Hayden blossomed as a starter at Indiana State in 2024. He sits 92-94 and touches 96 with an average fastball that sets up a plus slider. He’s likely a reliever in pro ball, but one who can probably get to above-average velocity to go with a bat-missing slider.

40. Hunter Hollan, LHP. Hollan has barely pitched as a pro as he’s worked through a multitude of injuries. When he has pitched, he’s yet to show the stuff that made him a third-round pick in 2023. He was a four-pitch lefty with average control coming out of Arkansas, but he has to show that he can get back to the low-90s velocity he once had.
