The guys over at Baseball America are in the middle of releasing all of their Midseason Top 10 prospects lists for each organization. Today they tackled the National League Central division, which, of course, includes the Cincinnati Reds.

To see any of the list you need to be a Baseball America subscriber, but there’s a slight loophole. You can read all of the Top 10 and scouting reports here. But, you can see all of the Top 10 prospects, although not in order, by checking out their hashtags in the actual post.

I won’t give away the order of all of the players, and if you are a subscriber please don’t do it in the comments section either. But here’s the ten guys listed in alphabetical order (as seen in the hashtags on the post):

LHP Amir Garrett

OF Aristides Aquino

OF Jesse Winker

RHP Jimmy Herget

RHP Nick Travieso

RHP Robert Stephenson

RHP Sal Romano

RHP Tony Santillan

RHP Tyler Mahle

C Tyler Stephenson

Amir Garrett is the top prospect in the organization according to their list. We already knew that as he was the highest ranking Reds prospect in their Midseason Top 100 update. The same rules apply here that applied to that list: No one currently in the big leagues is eligible for the list even if they have prospect eligibility remaining (that includes Cody Reed and Jose Peraza), and no draft pick or international signings are eligible for the list (which would include Nick Senzel, Taylor Trammell, Chris Okey and Alfredo Rodriguez).

I’d expect Jose Peraza and Cody Reed to both lose their prospect eligibility before the end of the season, but the other remaining four players that weren’t eligible for this list could really step in and change the way that things look when the post-season list is released.

The biggest surprise to me on the list was Jimmy Herget. Their scouting report on his stuff is a little bit better than the one that I’ve got on him. If theirs is correct (and I don’t have any reason to think it’s not), then he’s underrated on my Midseason Top 25 list (not listed). With that said, I think think he may be a little bit too high given that he’s a reliever who hasn’t pitched in Double-A or Triple-A yet. I’m looking forward to getting a closer look at him later this month when I’m in Florida.

One other thing that jumped out to me, and this part is on the free side for everyone, is their 2019 Projected Lineup. While it’s not always the best thing to look at, because they don’t forecast free agency at all – which means guys like Jay Bruce are still listed despite the fact that he will be a free agent before then, it’s interesting to see who they believe will be the top player at a position at that time if everyone stays. While Amir Garrett is listed as the top prospect ahead of Robert Stephenson, it’s Stephenson that’s listed as the #3 starter while Garrett is listed as the #5 starter. They’ve also still got Adam Duvall in left field over Jesse Winker, which is quite interesting.
