Only on a trio of occasions did lefty Adam Serwinowski pitch 5.0 full innings during his 2024 season with the Daytona Tortugas. He never once threw more than 79 pitches in a single game, , the Cincinnati Reds are bringing him along slowly, and that's only one indication that they've got some serious long-term aspirations for him. That he as already struck out 150 hitters in just 114.0 IP as a professional is a major part of that future aspiration, stands 6'5" and has just enough of a hitch in his lefty delivery to make his fastballslider offerings that much more deceptive, a pretty sweet addition to the 97 mph velocity he already has on his heater. If he can continue to refine those while improving his developing third pitch, the sky may be the limit for the former 15th round pick by the 's your 17 prospect in this year's Community Prospect Rankings. On to the voting for spot 18!Carlos Jorge, 2BOF - 21 years old2024 at a glance: Hit.220.292.394 with 12 HR and 28 SB in 402 for the Dayton DragonsPros: Plus runner with more pop for his size than you'd expect; former full-time infielder has taken to OF quite well in short orderCons: K-rate has spiked since moving up from A to A+ ball while walk rate has plummetedAt his best, Carlos Jorge has shown a borderline five-tool potential. He slugged.483 across 86 games in the extreme pitcher-friendly confines of the Florida State League for Class A Daytona in 2023 while sporting an excellent 13.2% walk rate and.400 OBP. He swiped 28 bags while only being caught 4 times during his 2024 campaign with High-A Dayton. He came up as a shortstop, has ample experience and skill at 2B, and has adapted to CF with plus ability, he'd been able to put all of that together in one fell swoop, he'd have already cracked this list. Instead, he's shown flashes of brilliance with each tool while also having serious issues maintaining it all at once. His most recent body of work in 2024 showed a brutal spike in his strikeouts while his walk rate evaporated, and his overall numbers fell dramatically TJ Friedl Jersey, only turned 21 in September, however, and there's ample time for him to turn things around once again. The upside here, though, is still pretty Confidan, OF - 22 years old2024 at a glance:.249.343.419 with 9 HR, 16 SB in 400 PA with Daytona TortugasPros: Plenty of pop from the left-hand side of the plate, with plus speed and developing plate approachCons: Vulnerable vs. LHP, repeated at Daytona after struggling there in 2023Confidan flashes the kind of power from the left side that few others can replicate within the Reds farm system, and at times has put it together in-game. During the 2021 season he raked for the ACL Reds, but struggled to replicate that during most of the 2022 and 2023 seasons - seasons that saw him reach Daytona and stall somewhat.2024 was different, fortunately, and the in-game pop began to show up despite being mired in the pitcher-friendly Florida State was a performance good enough to finally earn him a likely start with High-A Dayton to begin 2025, something that's still right on-par with his age 22 season. If his bat speed and raw power continue to develop, he's precisely the kind of toolsy corner OF prospect the Reds desperately need in their Aguiar, RHP - 24 years old2024 at a glance: 6.25 ERA, 6.86 FIP, 1.33 WHIP in 31.2 IP for the Cincinnati Reds; 3.79 ERA, 1.21 WHIP in 116.1 IP split between Louisville Bats and Chattanooga LookoutsPros: Strike-thrower who uses a sinkerslider mix; fastball that sits around 95 mph and a potential plus changeupCons: Will miss the 2025 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in late 2024Aguiar was drafted in the 12th round of the 2021 MLB Draft by the Reds out of Cypress College, a JUCO program that hasn't exactly produced a ton of big league talent before. He signed for just $125, 000, never really sat on any top prospect lists prior to 2023, at which point he fired 125.0 IP of 2.95 ERA1.10 WHIP work between Dayton and Daytona and firmly worked his way into the Reds pitching depth enough work again in 2024 put him in line for a call-up in August when the Reds rotation was in tatters. While his numbers certainly were nothing to write home about there, he did flash some stuff that looked like it could get big league hitters out more often than is, it's hard to discern just how much his stumbles before his season ended were due to the elbow troubles that eventually led him to Tommy John surgery. If he's more effective at throwing strikes when his elbow's in better shape, perhaps he'd have shown even more than we saw last. Unfortunately Joey Votto Jersey, we'll have to wait another year to find out, as he's likely in recovery-only mode for the entirety of Sanchez, OF - 18 years old2024 at a glance:.216.356.345 with 2 HR, 11 SB in 177 PA in Dominican Summer League playPros: Potential five-tool player. Those are cool!Cons: Yet to see tools fully displayed in-game just yet; may eventually need to move off CF to a cornerThe Reds went to $2.7 million to sign Sanchez in January of 2024 during the international signing window, and a quick glance at Sanchez taking batting practice will let you know why. He's got an incredibly smooth swing from the left side of the plate, one that carries with it plus power potential as well. A natural athlete, he makes good reads in the outfield and currently holds down CF just fine even though an eventual move to a corner may be in order. He even flashed an impressive eye at the plate during DSL play in 2024 even though the strikeouts were higher than you'd like to age 18, he's still got tons of time to continue developing, but the baseline tools are there for Sanchez to explode onto the scene as he moves up the minor league Hinds, OF - 24 years old2024 at a glance:.261.333.717 with 5 HR, 2 SB in 51 PA with Cincinnati Reds;.208.282.376 with 14 HR, 20 SB in 422 PA with Louisville BatsPros: Cons: 555 K in 390 G across all professional levels since being drafted; prone to incredible streakinessI'm not sure I'll ever forget the debut week Hinds had with the Reds last July. He belted 5 homers, 3 doubles, and a triple across 6 games, swiped a pair of bags, took an extra base nobody thought he'd take, and took home NL Player of the Week honors. It was, quite frankly, as elite of a display of tools as I think I've ever course, it did come against the Rockies and Marlins, and the good times ended abruptly. Hinds would bounce back to AAA, went just 1 for 27 at the big league level in his return stints, and struggled terribly for the Bats after his initial demotion until the end of the he's hot, he's as incredible as there is. When he's off, he's unplayable, and unfortunately the latter happens far too often. Still, the tools he shows lets the world know what just one minor tweak might unlock for all to see, and that's why he's so damn intriguing as a prospect at a still-young-enough 24 years of 2025 be the year he puts it all together over a full year? Hal Mcrae Jersey
