He came in at No. 70 in FanGraphs' top 100 summer prospect rankings. In his latest game, Trammell singled, doubled and stole three bases in a 7-2 win over the Lake County Captains.

Trammell’s wRC+ with the Dragons is 129, meaning he’s 29 percent better than the average player.

Trammell is still just 19-years-old. He won’t crack the Reds lineup anytime soon, but his journey through the minors will be fun for fans to follow.
