In yet another incredibly tight vote, it was Big Sugar who emerged victorious!
With 36 votes out of 124 responses in this round, big right-hander Zach Maxwell claimed the plurality, narrowly topping the likes of Leo Balcazar (34 votes) and Aaron Watson (29 votes) – with the latter two holding slim leads of their own at various points during the open voting window.

Maxwell – who throws 102 mph, created the Mississippi River by dragging his axe, and dug the Great Lakes with his footprints – made it to the actual Cincinnati Reds during the 2025 season, the 25 year old product of Georgia Tech tossing 10.0 innings and allowing 5 ER with 13 K in that time. He’s the owner of an impressive 13.1 K/9 across 143 appearances at the minor league level, and will enter spring camp in Goodyear, Arizona vying for a spot on the Opening Day roster.
Congrats to Zach!
