## Resource

Baseball America’s latest farm rankings have the Reds at 28th — a drop mostly due to top prospects moving up, but that’s not all bad. The Reds landed a hidden gem in Justin Lebron, their 18th-round pick in the 2026 draft, who’s already turning heads. MLB Pipeline projects him as their 1 prospect by 2028. After a rough junior year at Alabama against SEC powerhouses, skeptics doubted his tools — but his pro debut has been electric: slashing .292/.375/.594 with six steals in 23 games at High-A Dayton. Defensively, he’s had some miscues at shortstop, but his bat is undeniable. Lebron may have been a late-round steal — and could become the cornerstone of Cincinnati’s future.
