The Cincinnati Reds barraged the baseball world with a fleet of rookies during the 2023 regular season. Each of the #1, #2, #5, #6, #8, #9, #10, #11, #14, #19, and #22 prospects from last year’s annual Community Prospect Rankings made appearances at the big league level as the Reds began to finally emerge from their latest rebuild, and the sheer quantity of rookies getting serious playing time wasn’t merely due to lack of investment ahead of them.
These rookies were quality rookies, too, with the likes of Elly De La Cruz, Matt McLain, Spencer Steer, & Co.
