Jacob Hurtubise smashed his way through most every projection for him during the 2023 season, finally adding some punch to a game that had long been lauded for its speed and defense. He’ll turn 27 years old this year and has just 137 career PA at the AAA level, but there’s always the chance that he found a tweak at a later age than other prospects that will help unlock his path to the bigs.
That was good enough for him to rise to the #20 spot in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings, according to you. He’ll presumably start the 2024 season in Louisville, and since he was added to the 40-man roster earlier this winter, it’s very likely we’ll see him wearing a Cincinnati Reds uniform at some point this year.
