The Cincinnati Reds have already kicked off their spring training efforts. Pitchers and catchers reported for Major League spring training on Tuesday. On Wednesday that held their first official team workouts. The position players that haven’t already reported will show up in a few days.
For the Minor Leaguers who are not on the 40-man roster, and those who didn’t receive an invitation to Major League spring training as a non-roster invitee, they’ll have to wait a few more weeks. For the Minor Leaguers, pitchers and catchers don’t report until February 28th. Position players don’t report until March 6th. Games won’t start until about a week after that (the schedule has not yet been released).
We do have the list of all 171 players that the Cincinnati Reds will have in minor league camp at the start. As the spring goes on some players will join the backfields as they are sent back from Major League camp. Some guys, unfortunately, will also be released as the spring goes on. For now, here’s the list of the players that will be in Goodyear when camp begins:

There’s only one thing that really jumped out to me when looking over the list of players: Only two players are going to be in spring training from the Dominican Summer League Reds from 2018. One of them is Raul Hernandez, who was one of the players injured in the car accident during the offseason that took the life of one of the Reds players in the Dominican Republic. The other player is outfielder Emilio Garcia, who was also involved in the accident. It’s possible that they are in Goodyear simply to continue their rehab.
The youngest player in camp will be Claudio Finol, who won’t turn 19 until April 13th. He is one of three players that will be in camp that were born in the year 2000. 2018 draft picks Lyon Richardson and Yomil Maysonet were also born this millenium. I won’t speak for you, but I’ve never felt older.
There will be 79 right-handed pitchers in camp. There are only 18 left-handed pitchers that will be in camp. That leaves 74 spots for position players.
