Cincinnati Reds Have a New Number One Prospect

With the promotion of pitcher Chase Burns in July, it was a matter of time before he would graduate from the prospect rankings.

Sal Stewart is officially the Cincinnati Reds' number one-ranked prospect in the organization, according to MLB Pipeline. To begin the season, Stewart was the 84th-ranked prospect in baseball to start the season and was third in the organization. His stellar play this year has seen him rise from 84th to 38th in the Top-100 and now number one on the Reds.

In 80 games with Double-A Chattanooga, Stewart had a batting average of .306 with a .850 OPS. He also showed improvement in power, hitting 10 home runs. In 21 games in Triple-A Louisville, the 21-year-old is batting .313 with a .959 OPS, four home runs and 10 doubles.

Overall, he is having a fantastic season in 2025, earning a selection to the MLB Futures Game team and a climb of 46 spots in the top prospect rankings. Next stop: Cincinnati.

Notable Top 30 Changes:

Cam Collier is now ranked third.
Alfredo Duno is at number four.
Tyson Lewis moves up to sixth.
Hector Rodriguez is now eighth.
Adolfo Sanchez is number nine.
Carlos Sanchez is officially a top-30 prospect, ranking at number 30.
