Outfielder Carlos Jorge and reliever Johnathan Lavallee were both named to the Southern League All-Star team.

Reliever Johnathan Lavallee had a great first season in the Reds organization in 2026. Lavallee signed as a free agent in February and was assigned to Chattanooga out of spring training. In the first three months of the season, he threw 33.2 innings for the Lookouts with a 2.94 ERA. Lavallee was promoted up to Triple-A Louisville for a bit before he returned back to Chattanooga for the rest of the 2026 season. In the Southern League overall, his ERA was 2.70 in 43.1 innings, where he had seven saves, walked only 10 guys, and had 56 strikeouts. An excellent season, and Lavallee is a candidate to be assigned to Triple-A next spring.

Carlos Jorge's journey in 2026 has been quite a ride. Jorge's first half of the year was with the Lookouts, where he played in 59 games. There he hit .330 with 23 stolen bases. He led the league at the time he was promoted mid-season to Triple-A. Jorge joined Louisville on June 30th and hit .263 for the Bats. He also missed three weeks of August with an injury before returning late in the month. Cincinnati called him up to join the big-league club on September 4th, and he’s spent the month with them ever since. Either way, his time in Double-A clearly earned him this All-Star Award.

He had a fantastic season with the Dayton Dragons. He hit .322 with 17 home runs and 60 RBIs in 66 games. He was promoted to Double-A in June and will have a chance to continue his great season in the Arizona Fall League.

Jirvin Morillo made the Complex League All-Star team as the catcher after he hit.321with 13 home runs in 54 games. On the pitching side, Ysaias Escalona and Iker Redona made the team. Escalona posted a 0.99 ERA for the DSL Reds in 63.1 innings. Redona had a 2.68 ERA for the ACL Reds in 47.0 innings.

Excellent 2026 season for all the guys honored this year.
