Reds prospects enjoyed playing at GABP

The Futures Game was an exciting time for all of the prospects, but it may have been extra special for the Reds' prospects, who were playing in their future home – Cincinnati's Great American Ball Park.

The Reds were represented by three prospects in the game – outfielder Yorman Rodriguez and Kyle Waldrop and pitcher Amir Garrett – and all enjoyed the experience.

"It was awesome," Garrett told Reds.com. "I was kind of nervous at the beginning. Once I got on the mound and got the first one out of the way, I was like, 'This is the same thing I do every day, just a bigger crowd.' I was thinking to myself in the bullpen, 'Do not pass out please.' It was great. It was a very good experience being here. The fans made it a lot better. I enjoyed my time here."

Waldrop was recently promoted to Triple-A Louisville and now that he's on the cusp on a call to the Majors, the game really hit home.

"Today was a reality check. Just looking around at a big league stadium, you hope it's something that can happen [in the future]," Waldrop said.
