Dragons On The Field

The Dragons are proud to announce that catcher Pabel Manzanero was selected as a Midwest League Mid-Season All-Star for 2019. This marks the third straight year the Dragons have had a catcher selected to play in the Midwest League All-Star Game. Through 47 games played, Manzanero leads all qualifying Dragons players with a .279 batting average, 51 hits and 6 home runs. He also ranks top three on the team with 11 doubles and 21 RBIs through that time frame. Defensively, Manzanero has thrown out 13 runners trying to steal against him while behind the plate.

The Dragons have six players on Baseball America's Top 30 Reds Prospects list. This group is led by the Reds' fourth-round draft pick in the 2018 draft, Michael Siani. Siani is the eighth-rated prospect in the organization after being selected out of high school in Philadelphia. Outfielder Mariel Bautista (#16 prospect) has shown an advanced approach at the plate in his time in the Reds system. Other top prospects on the Dragons roster include infielders Juan Martinez (#22) and Bren Spillane (#30), the latter was the 2018 Big 10 Player of the Year at Illinois before being chosen in the third round. Right-handers Lyon Richardson (#17) and James Marinan (#19) are both expected to make significant impacts on the mound this season for the Dragons.

Former Dragons player and hitting coach Luis Bolivar returns for his third year as manager. Former major leaguer Kevin Mahar returns for his third season as bench coach while former major league pitcher Seth Etherton is back for his second year as pitching coach. Mike Devereaux, a 12-year MLB veteran, joins Bolivar's staff as hitting coach after spending last season in that role with the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, Double-A affiliate of the Reds at that time.
