The youngest Reds player to hit a homerun was a pitcher by the name of Pete Schneider. He hit a grand total of 5 HRs, but the odd part is his first was an inside the park HR ..3 of the 5 were inside the park. He also only allowed 16 HRs in his career. He only pitched 6 seasons, 5 with Reds and 1 with the Yankees. He threw 1274 innings with a lifetime ERA of 2.66 between 1914 and 1919..I'm guessing (although I'm not sure) he was included in the infamous trade that sent Christy Mathewson to the Yankees for a stale hotdog..That was the year of the Blacksox scandal when the Reds won the WS..1919.
