In the last 15 days, here are the BAs for the Reds hitters who are currently active.
Steer - .366
EDLC - .294
Benson - .258
CES - .250
Lux - .240
Espinal - .214
Friedl - .192
McLain - .185
Trevino - .182
Hays - .175
Stephenson - .167
Hinds - .087 (is this dude ever gonna be able to hit MLB pitching?)
Marte - .083
This shows that aside from 2 Steer and EDLC, no one else is really hitting well at all.
You could maybe put Benson and CES in there if you consider .250-.260 satisfactory, but the rest of the dudes are just flat out not getting hits consistently.
Reds haven’t t been able to hit since the strike shorted season where they made the playoffs and didn’t score a run in 2 games against Atlanta. They keep trying to build a team that hits home runs to win games. That just doesn’t work against good pitching. Too many strikeouts without contact, that is the biggest problem with this team.
