## Resource

The Cincinnati Reds are quietly turning things around offensively, thanks to breakout performances from Eugenio Suarez and Elly De La Cruz, who’ve propelled the team’s slugging percentage into the top 20. While their batting average and on-base percentage still rank last, park-adjusted metrics show they’re outperforming expectations — tied with the Angels in weighted runs created plus, ahead of only the Rockies. But the real story? Their lineup is dangerously top-heavy. Three of MLB’s four worst hitters, by WRC+, still occupy roster spots, raising serious questions about front-office decisions as the season nears its end.
