The Reds just called up their hot-hitting prospect Hector Rodriguez, a 22-year-old slugger with 27 homers and a .270 average in Triple-A — and he’s got speed too, hitting for the cycle and an inside-the-park homer. Acquired from the Mets in 2022, Rodriguez has refined his swing to avoid chasing bad pitches. He’ll likely play corner outfield and serve as a platoon bat. This move comes after a quiet trade deadline where the Reds traded away prospects for international money but kept veteran free agents Brady Singer and Tyler Stephenson — a puzzling strategy that’s left fans wondering if they’re rebuilding or just coasting. Now all eyes are on Rodriguez to see if he can translate his minor league magic to the majors.
