Episode Details

Mason Morris, the Reds’ third-round 2025 draft pick, is exploding onto the scene after a slow start—now ranked 25 by MLB Pipeline as their hottest pitching prospect. Once a college reliever, he’s adapting to full-time starting duties with impressive results: a 3.31 ERA over 21⅓ innings in his last four starts at Single-A Daytona, then a dominant one-run debut at High-A Dayton. Standing 6-foot-4, he boasts a 99 mph fastball, but it’s his elite cutter—graded MLB Pipeline’s best pitch—that’s generating swings and misses. At just 23, Morris is proving he can handle starter workloads, and the Reds are clearly bullish on his future. Keep an eye on him as he climbs toward 2027–2028 impact potential.
