Summary
The Cincinnati Reds are on pace to become the first MLB team since 1909 to have four players with over 200 plate appearances all hitting under .200 — a feat last seen by the 2014 Cubs, who later won a World Series. Worse, two Reds — TJ Friedl and Ke’Bryan Hayes — are batting under .165, matching only the 1968 Tigers (who won the title that year). Offensively, they’re dead last in batting average; defensively, their pitching ranks near the bottom with a team ERA close to 5.00. Facing tough opponents like the Dodgers and Cubs ahead, the Reds’ future hinges on a few bright spots — Sal Stewart and Elly De La Cruz — while the rest of the roster must dramatically improve if they hope to turn things around.
