Cincinnati Reds fourth-ranked prospect Cam Collier made his season debut on Monday with the ACL Reds.

He went 0-2 with a strikeout.

The 20-year-old suffered a torn UCL in his left thumb in spring training which required surgery.

Collier played in 119 games for the High-A Dayton Dragons and slugged .248/.355/.443 with 42 extra-base hits and was recognized as the 2024 Reds Minor League Position Player of the Year.

"Winning it, especially after having the year I had before where I was struggling, being able to bounce back this year and have the success I did, it was really a blessing," Collier told MLB.com."To see that hard work pay off after that struggle, it was amazing."

Once Collier's rehab is complete, he will most likely start his minor league season with High-A Dayton or Double-A Chattanooga.
