Reds Prospect Alfredo Duno Named Florida State League Player of the Week

Reds prospect Alfredo Duno has been named the Florida State League Player of the Week.

From May 26 - June 1, the Reds' 7th-ranked prospect slashed .450/.607/.850 with two doubles, two home runs, and six RBIs.

"Duno can show off a plus arm from behind the plate and he’s pretty athletic given his 6-foot-2 frame, something he’ll have to manage as he matures so he can continue to block and receive well," MLB Pipeline wrote. "The Reds don’t have a catcher ahead of him in the system to block him, so he’ll dictate his own pace."

Duno, who is still just 19 years old, is slashing .268/.406/.490 with 20 extra-base hits with Low-A Daytona this season. He has shown the ability to take a walk, walking 32 times in just 44 games.

The catcher isn't anywhere near the big leagues, but he has elite upside. In the offseason, Reds' catcher Jose Trevino had high praise for the youngster.

“He could be the next Salvador Perez,” Trevino said on the Jim Day Podcast.
