The Cincinnati Reds added a few prospects to the team's 40-man roster earlier this offseason. Shortstops Edwin Arroyo and Leo Balcazar along with outfield prospect Hector Rodriguez will be looking to make an impact at the Major League level next season.
All three players enjoyed breakout seasons in 2025, and that was a big factor in the Reds' decision to add them to the roster back in November. Balcazar even put an exclamation point on his candidacy after a stellar performance during the Arizona Fall League.
Heading into 2026, a handful of Reds prospects are staring down a make-or-break season.
