Jimmy Herget is one of the Cincinnati Reds top prospects. The flame-throwing right-hander has a unique delivery that deceives opposing hitters and gives the Reds hope for him to be a key cog in the back end of the bullpen. Unfortunately, Herget’s command of late has been a problem.
When the Rule 5 Draft approached late last year, Jimmy Herget was the lone addition to the Cincinnati Reds 40-man roster. There’s good reason for that. Herget is one of the top young prospects in the Reds farm system and after his ascent through the minor leagues, Herget seemed like a lock to make his major league debut later this season.
