Joel Kuhnel is finally getting some love from the national press. https://www.mlb.com/reds/news/mlb-s-best-prospect-relievers He's listed for the time being as out stopper/closer of the future. If he keeps up his current pace we might expect to see him in a Reds uniform next year possibly. If our bullpen completely crumbles we might see him sooner.. Let's hope that ain't the case though. He can still heave it up there over 100 mph.

Interesting Stat on Joel Kuhnel
During the 2018 season he threw strikes on 70.8% of the pitches that he threw. That would have led the Major Leagues among the pitchers qualified for the ERA title. He had a swinging strike on 13.5% of the pitches that he threw. Of the 338 pitchers in the Major Leagues with at least 50 innings, a 13.5% rate would have ranked 59th – well above-average.
The bold italics (mine) is pretty damned good!
