Scouting Report

2025

The Reds’ 2021 Draft class might best be known for first-rounder Matt McLain and second-rounder Andrew Abbott, both of whom have spent considerable time in the big leagues. But their Day 3 haul has also produced two Major League contributors in 15th-rounder Blake Dunn and Aguiar, taken from the junior college ranks in Round 12. Named the Reds’ Minor League Pitcher of the Year for his 2023 season that saw him reach Double-A, Aguiar pitched his way from Double- to Triple-A and then to the big leagues in August, making seven starts before being shut down with an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery.

When he comes back in 2026, Aguiar can get back to attacking hitters with what is largely a three-pitch mix. His fastball ticked up to averaging closer to 95 mph, touching 97 mph, and it’s at its best when he sinks it down in the zone. In the past his 80-mph slider and curve ran into each other, but he leaned more on the former in 2024 and might be best focusing on the sinker-slider combination moving forward. His 84 mph changeup gives him something to keep left-handed hitters off-balance.

Other than an uptick in his walk rate during his big league debut, Aguiar has done a terrific job of repeating his delivery and filling up the strike zone. He’s probably a back-end starter at best but should be good to reach that ceiling when he returns at the start of 2026.

2024

Aguiar wasn’t heavily recruited when he was coming out of Millikan High School in Long Beach, Calif., so he stayed local to pitch at a pair of junior colleges, El Camino in 2020 and Cypress the following year. He pitched well enough to land as a 12th-round flier to the Reds in the 2021 Draft. He spent most of his first full season with Single-A Daytona, earning a late bump up to High-A Dayton, then jumped much more firmly on the map by starting full-time and splitting the year between Dayton and Double-A Chattanooga.

Named the Reds’ Minor League Pitcher of the Year following his 2023 season, Aguiar seems to keep improving as he advances. He has a chance to have a solid three-pitch mix, four when he’s able to successfully separate his two breaking balls. His sinking fastball averaged a tick over 94 mph with Chattanooga last year, eliciting a 60-percent ground-ball rate. His low-80s slider is better than his curve, and he threw it more consistently and frequently, and they often blend into each other. The fastball-slider might be his bread-and-butter, but he’s taken it upon himself to use his stuff to get hitters on both sides of the plate out and that’s included using his mid-80s changeup effectively against lefties.

It wasn’t until junior college that Aguiar, a former infielder, focused on pitching full-time. He’s come a long way in honing his craft in a hurry, using his athleticism to repeat his delivery well and becoming a solid strike-thrower. He continued to add strength this offseason, so there could be more in the tank with a ceiling of a No. 4-type starter.

2023

The 2021 Draft has already been a productive one for the Reds, with two of its top four picks -- Matt McLain and Andrew Abbott -- contributing in the big leagues. The same expectations didn’t come with Aguiar, who signed for $125,000 as a 12th-round pick after a year at Cypress Junior College. Following a solid first full season that saw him touch High-A, he was even better in 2023 with a strong showing back in Dayton’s rotation.

At a projectable 6-foot-3, Aguiar has the chance to have a legitimate four-pitch mix. His fastball typically sits in the 93-95 mph range -- touching as high as 97 mph -- and he throws it with good sink, leading to strong ground ball rates. He’ll throw an 81-83 mph slider, and while he’ll show a distinct curve at times, the pitches can run into each other. Consistency of his breaking stuff is a key area of development for him. He also has an effective changeup in his arsenal.

A former infielder in high school, Aguiar didn’t start focusing on pitching full-time until his first year at El Camino Junior College in the shortened 2020 season. He’s athletic on the mound, and as he’s added strength, he’s continued to show the ability to repeat his delivery and throw more strikes. He is also adding more consistent velocity, giving him the chance to continue to start as he moves up the ladder.

Pitch Movement

How this works: This section shows two different ways to evaluate pitch movement. On the left, “Total Movement” shows the real-world movement of a pitch, including the forces of gravity, which affects every pitch thrown. Since gravity requires time, and slower pitches aren't 'better' just because they have more time to move, a pitch's movement is compared to other pitches of the same pitch type, within +/- 2 MPH and +/- 0.5 feet of extension/release. On the right, Induced Movement (or IVB) is reported without gravity, and attempts to isolate movement created by the pitcher's ability to spin and manipulate the ball.
