Games of Monday, June 24
MiPOD Edwin Yon went 3-5 with a home run (1), and 2 RBI. The 2014 bonus baby ($170,000) is making his fifth trip through rookie ball even though he is yet to turn 21. I have not heard much about him here on Redszone, and he did not even make our top 40, but fangraphs thought enough about him to make him a top 30 prospect going into this year. They talk about his impressive physique which will take a while to develop, and he may not start showing a hit tool until he enters his mid-20s. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/top-33-p...ncinnati-reds/
It's hard to take too much from his first four years' statistics since he was so young and he only cracked 200 PAs in 2016. Either way, the profile is high strikeouts, with a decent amount of walks. Hopefully he can develop that hit tool and start hitting for pop. Let's hope tonight's bomb is the first of many this year.
Honorable Mention Ibandel Isabel went 3-4 with a solo home run (17) and 2 runs scored. The 24 year old has certainly shown a good amount of pop in his time in the Reds' organization, hitting 35 bombs with Daytona last year (and one in the Dodgers' org, but he needs to find a way to cut down on the Ks (42.4% this year).
Louisville Bats lost 3-1.
Scooter Gennett (rehab) went 2-4 with a double.
Josh VanMeter went 1-3 with a walk and a solo home run (14).

Vladimir Gutierrez had his best start of the year. He pitched 7 innings and allowed no earned runs (3 unearned runs, though), walking only 2, while punching out six.
Chattanooga Lookouts lost 7-5.
Alfredo Rodriguez went 1-5 with an RBI. He has hits in eight of his last nine games and his BA is up to .306.
Jose Siri went 1-4 with a walk.
