Tortugas Clinch Playoffs Despite Reds Struggles | Cincinnati Reds News

The Daytona Tortugas just clinched a playoff spot and the second-half title in the Florida State League East — a huge win for a Reds farm system ranked 28th overall. Despite that, their roster is bursting with elite young talent: Jalen Hairston, a late-round pick who’s been one of the league’s best hitters; Sherman Johnson, another high-upside rookie; and catcher Jirvin Morillo, who’s skyrocketed to ninth in Reds’ prospect rankings. They’ll kick off their postseason run Tuesday against the Jupiter Hammerheads at home — while the big-league Reds face an impossible stretch against playoff-bound Padres, Dodgers, and Braves, sitting 7.5 games back with little time left to make a wild card push.
