The Reds' Rising Stars: Unveiling the Top Prospects
In our previous episode, Roger Straz and I unveiled our top-30 Cincinnati Reds prospect rankings. Now, we bring you part two, focusing on the talented individuals ranked 11-20.
- Sheng-En Lin: A Two-Way Talent
Sheng-En Lin, signed by the Reds in 2023, is a potential two-way player with an impressive arm. His fastball averages in the 90s, reaching up to 97 mph! In his debut season, the Reds focused on his hitting, and he delivered, slashing an impressive .308/.418/.837 with 11 extra-base hits and 12 stolen bases. But here's where it gets interesting: in 2025, he made his pitching debut, showcasing a 3.06 ERA and 61 strikeouts in just 15 appearances. With an impressive WHIP and a low batting average against, Lin is one to watch. Expect him to start the 2026 season in Single-A Daytona.

With a solid slash line and two home runs, he's set to make a mark. While he's likely to start in Single-A, don't be surprised if he quickly moves up to High-A.
