* Unsung hero of the early Reds season......Fernando Cruz. This guy was drafted as an infielder 17 years ago. Had 1,000 plate appearances in the minors before switching to pitcher.

He calls it a "gift from god," which is hard to disagree with.

Opposing hitters this year against his splitter: 0-19, 17 Ks, 75% whiff rate. 🤣
