Jun 19, 2023; Omaha, NE, USA; LSU Tigers starting pitcher Ty Floyd throws a pitch against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons during the first inning at Charles Schwab Field Omaha.
Mandatory Credit: Dylan Widger-Imagn Images | Dylan Widger-Imagn Images The Reds drafted Ty Floyd with the 38th overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft. Since he's been drafted he's dealt with a myriad of injuries and has only thrown 30 2/3 innings. Last year, he made just eight starts before missing the rest of the season due to Tommy John surgery. On Tuesday night, he make his first start since the surgery with the ACL Reds and he looked fantastic.
Floyd gave up just one hit in three scoreless innings of work. He did not walk a batter and struck out four. The right-hander was Cincinnati's 18th-ranked prospect in 2025, but has since dropped out of MLB Pipeline's top 30.
"Floyd has a quick arm and a delivery without too much effort with the kind of repertoire that could fit in the middle or back of a rotation, especially if he can refine his command and land his secondary stuff in the zone more,""His fastball and slider would play in a relief role if it comes to that, but step one will be for him to get through a healthy season, with the Reds monitoring his workload carefully in a first year after missing 2024. " If Floyd can stay healthy for the rest of the season, he will be a pitcher to keep an eye on in the Reds' system.
