Jose Franco has been part of the Cincinnati Reds’ farm system since 2019, facing various challenges including a lost season in 2020 and Tommy John surgery in 2023. After struggling in A-ball, he returned to the mound in 2024, posting a 3.11 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 110 innings at AA and AAA, showcasing a fastball nearing 100 mph. Franco’s performance has earned him a place on the 40-man roster and recognition as the 11th ranked prospect in the system. If his secondary pitches develop, he could become a valuable addition to the Reds’ rotation.
