High-A Central League Playoffs: Major League Baseball has announced that leagues at three classifications, including the High-A Central League, will conduct playoffs in September. The top two teams in each league, regardless of division, will meet in a best-of-five series. Playoff Race: The Dragons are three games behind Cedar Rapids in the race for the #2 seed in the 2021 post-season with 15 games to play. Division Race: The Dragons are two games behind Great Lakes and Lake County in the East Division. The Mythical First Half Division Title: The Dragons were the winners of the “Mythical First Half” East Division title. Note that the league is not utilizing a split-season format in 2021. There is no First Half or Second Half, and no First Half championship race in 2021 in the High-A Central League. The Midwest League was split into two equal halves for every season from 1988-2019, and from 1956-1981. The league did not play a split season from 1982-87. First Round Fever: Matt McLain is the latest first round draft pick to play for the Dragons. Recent first round picks to play for the Dragons, with their draft year, have included Nick Lodolo (2019), Jonathan India (2018), Hunter Greene (2017), Nick Senzel (2016), Tyler Stephenson (2015), Nick Howard and Alex Blandino (2014), Phillip Ervin (2013), Nick Travieso (2012), and Robert Stephenson (2011). Every Reds “true” first round pick (selected within the first 30 picks of the draft) over the last 11 drafts has played for the Dragons except 2020 first rounder Austin Hendrick, who is currently at Low-A Daytona.

Dragons Manager/Coaches: Jose Moreno is in his first season as Dragons manager and his second year in the Reds organization. The 2021 season is Moreno’s 22nd year as a coach, instructor, or coordinator in professional baseball. As a manager, he has won three league championships with affiliated clubs, guiding his teams to titles in 2002, 2007, and 2010. Moreno also led his teams to back-to-back championships in the Venezuelan Winter League in 2019-20 and 2020-21. Moreno was a catcher in Cleveland Indians and Baltimore Orioles farm systems. Wapakoneta, Ohio native Brian Garman joins the Dragons in 2021 as pitching coach. Garman was slated to serve as the Dayton pitching coach in 2020 before the season was canceled. He served as a pitching coach in the Los Angeles Angels system for the previous two seasons, working at Rookie-level Orem (Pioneer League) in 2019 and Advanced-A Inland Empire (California League) in 2018. Garman pitched at Wapakoneta High School and the University of Cincinnati before being drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 17th round in 2010. He spent four years as a pitcher in the Brewers system, reaching the Double-A level. Hitting coach Daryle Ward returns to the Dragons in 2021 after serving in the same position in Dayton in 2017-18. He is in his sixth year in coaching in the Cincinnati Reds organization. He served as the hitting coach with the Goodyear Reds in the Arizona League in 2016 and with the Chattanooga Lookouts in 2019. He was slated to return to Chattanooga in 2020 before the season was canceled. Ward played professionally for 22 seasons from 1994-2015. He spent seven full seasons and parts of four others in the Major Leagues, primarily as a left fielder and first baseman. His father, Gary Ward, was a Major League All-Star selection with both the Twins and Rangers as part of a 12-year Major League playing career.

Darren Bragg returns to the Dragons in his 15th year as a coach or instructor in the Reds organization. He will serve in a newly named position within the Reds organization, carrying the title of development coach. Bragg was the Dragons hitting coach for two seasons in 2007-08, helping the club to the playoffs in both years as he worked with future Reds Todd Frazier, Zack Cozart, Chris Heisey, Drew Stubbs, Juan Francisco, and others in Dayton. Bragg served as the Reds minor league outfield coordinator from 2009-18 before returning to a coaching assignment with an individual team. He was the bench coach at Double-A Chattanooga in 2019 and was slated to fill the same role with Daytona in 2020 before the minor league season was canceled. Bragg spent 11 years as a player in Major League Baseball from 1994-2004, appearing in 916 big league games with nine teams
