Biggest Risers

Stharlin Torres makes his debut on the Reds top-30 list and is at 26. In two seasons in the organization, the 19-year-old is 2-2 with a 1.81 ERA in 24 games. Last season in the ACL, he pitched in 10 games, starting six of them. In his first game, he pitched in relief, tossing three shutout innings with a hit, a walk, and four strikeouts. He made his first start three appearances later. He pitched four shutout innings again with two hits, two strikeouts, and a walk. He finished May with a 1.89 ERA, .179 batting average against him, 22 strikeouts, and just four walks. He finished the season 0-1 with a 1.88 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, 44 strikeouts, seven walks, and a .193 batting average against him. Likely pitching in A-ball this year. 

Jirvin Morillo also makes his debut on the Reds top-30 list; he is ranked 24th. This season, he is making his United States debut after two seasons in the Dominican Summer League. This offseason, he played winter ball in Australia along with prospects Pablo Nunez and Hansel Jimenez and slashed .288/.359/.425 with a home run and 10 RBIs. In two DSL seasons, he slashed .257/.414/.439 with six home runs and 22 doubles, he walked 63 times and struck out just 46 times in 230 at-bats. Morillo has an average arm, but the Reds love his intangibles and leadership qualities, including improving his English and showing up in Arizona early to get to work for the season ahead.

Spring Training is in full swing as the Reds are in action on Thursday versus the Los Angeles Dodgers.
