The 2026 edition of Red Reporter’s Community Prospect Rankings wrapped this week, doing so with nearly 3,000 total responses during the voting process. Thank you to each and every one of you who took the time to participate with us this year.
Here’s how the list shook out:
- Sal Stewart
- Alfredo Duno
- Rhett Lowder
- Hector Rodriguez
- Edwin Arroyo
- Cam Collier
- Steele Hall
- Tyson Lewis
- Chase Petty
- Arnaldo Lantigua
- Jose Franco
- Zach Maxwell
- Leo Balcazar
- Adolfo Sanchez
- Carlos Jorge
- Aaron Watson
- Julian Aguiar
- Tyler Callihan
- Sheng-En Lin
- Ricky Cabrera
Here’s how the Top 20 of the 2025 Community Prospect Rankings looked for comparison:
- Rhett Lowder
- Chase Burns
- Edwin Arroyo
- Chase Petty
- Cam Collier
- Sal Stewart
- Alfredo Duno
- Sammy Stafura
- Ricky Cabrera
- Hector Rodriguez
- Tyson Lewis
- Connor Phillips
- Sheng-En Lin
- Luke Holman
- Zach Maxwell
- Ty Floyd
- Adam Serwinowski
- Rece Hinds
- Carlos Jorge
- Julian Aguiar
Obviously, there were some graduates from last year’s rankings, with Chase Burns, Connor Phillips, and Rece Hinds having logged enough big league service time to no longer qualify as prospects anymore. Sammy Stafura was included in the deal with Pittsburgh that landed Ke’Bryan Hayes in Cincinnati, while Adam Serwinowski was dealt to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the three-team deal that landed Zack Littell with the Reds for last season’s stretch run.
Congrats to those Reds prospects on the distinguished honor of being included in this year’s CPR!
