Rece Hinds DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Rece Hinds went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double, and a walk in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves. Hinds was recently called up due to the injury to Noelvi Marte (oblique), made his second appearance thus far in 2025, and made the most of it. He doubled off Spencer Schwellenbach and homered off Braves' closer Raisel Iglesias in the ninth inning to give the Reds a 4-2 lead. Hinds splashed onto the scene in 2024, showing fantastic power, hitting five home runs and slugging .717 in 51 plate appearances in 2024; however, he was striking out at a 31.4 percent clip, and started 2025 in Triple-A. Through seven plate appearances in 2025, Hinds is 2-for-6 with three strikeouts. There is no guarantee Hinds will stay up with the big league club once Marte is back, so for now, fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on his production and only pick him up as a short-term bat if needed.

Cincinnati Reds outfield prospect Rece Hinds kept on hitting on Tuesday for Triple-A Louisville, going 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, and scoring twice. That makes three consecutive games with a homer for the former second-rounder, now boasting a .281 AVG with an .897 OPS through 33 games. Hinds was not the one to get the call to replace injured Tyler Callihan (forearm); rather, it was Jacob Hurtubise, but make no mistake, Hinds and his power will be back in the big leagues at some point this season. Together with his ability to steal bases, Hinds is a name to monitor in redraft leagues.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Rece Hinds homered for the seventh time this season in a 3-for-6 day at the plate for Triple-A Louisville on Sunday. The former second-round draft pick has his season-long slash line up to .274/.338/.521 with 31 RBI, 25 runs scored, and 12 steals through 32 games (134 PA), and could be knocking on the door to the majors again, especially with the Reds' recent call-up Tyler Callihan suffering a broken forearm on Monday against the Braves. Fantasy managers might remember the right-handed hitter's power binge when he was called up in 2024, collecting five home runs in his first six major league games, although it came with a 31.4 percent strikeout rate overall and no home runs over his final 16 games for Cincinnati. Power-needy managers in deep leagues will want to keep a close eye on this one, especially due to the 6-foot-3 slugger's potential to add some stolen bases along with the power.
