Not saying he’s turned it around but Rece Hinds has put together some big hits in these last few games

Again, not saying Rece Hinds is out of his slump or that he’s going to become something spectacular, but to my inexperienced eye his patience seems to be improving and he’s making much better contact.

Hopefully could be the start of a bit of a turnaround for him.

Hunter Wendelstedt vs the Cincinnati Reds (April 19, 2026)

Everybody watching the game yesterday knew it was terrible, so if you're like me you've been waiting for the ump scorecard to come out. 80% accuracy on strikes, all three of the most impactful missed calls going against the Reds, and a +2.78 run favor for MIN. Try as he might to prevent it, the Reds still came back to get the win, and it's nice to see the fight in this team this year. Ending the game on a challenge was the cherry on top of the poor umpiring performance. Now if only we could get our guys to start using challenges earlier in the game on some of these more obvious calls!

Got To See An Old Friend

Really miss this guy. My fav player on the ballclub during his time with the Redlegs. He could’ve hit .100 for all I care, he’s a ballplayer in every sense of the word. There was seldom a game where his uniform wasn’t dirty by the end of it during his time in Cincy. I remember specifically during the euphoric two weeks that was that 12 game winning streak, at some point I acquired a garden rake and put a Reds hat and sweater on it, with a sign that read “Rake Fraley” (photo has been lost to history).

Great to hear his daughter is in remission, very touching moment during the broadcast today when Jim Day was telling the story and got all choked up.

Thanks for the memorie Rake, long live the Viking.

Trying to explain the Reds MLB worst .248 BABIP

Currently the Reds BABIP is the worst in the MLB. When looking at some surface level stats, and even some advanced stats, the usual suspects don't exactly justify this number. The Reds are not a great hitting team, but they're also not the worst. Instead, pretty average in most areas.

In terms of power and quality of contact, roughly 85% of contact is either medium or hard. In fact, the Reds have the third lowest soft contact percentage. Where the bat meets the ball, we're pretty average; 15th in SqUpCon%, 7th in IdealAtkAng%, and 19th in BlastCon%.

When hit, the Reds are pretty much up the middle and do a decent job hitting opposite field. The Reds have the 5th lowest pull rate meaning, even with shift rules, we're not hitting the ball into defensive alignments. Infield fly percentage is 8th highest, but still fairly normal. The differences here between just a few points.

Nothing here screams problematic, nothing is fantastic, but not bad. So why are so many of our batted balls turning into outs?

The issue, launch angle.

The one stat that is league worst is our LA which is a whopping 18*. Going back 5 years, it's the highest average LA in that time. In fact, the five highest LAs since 2021 are from 2026 teams. Rotographs did a deep dive into why this is, and they believe it has to do with pitching trends of faster velocities and placing balls higher in the zone, but I digress.

This is causing a lot of our problems because not only are we hitting the ball higher, but weather impacts the distance the ball travels. Colder and wetter weather means denser air which means more drag, which means the ball doesn't carry as far. Something like every 10* higher the air temperature, the ball travels 3ft further. It's still early in the season and temps have been touch lower for some our games. The impact this has is noticeable and the stats, I think, support this.

Player BBE xwoba xba launch_angle velocity Dist
McLain, Matt 14 0.185 0.128 38.5 89.6 293
Steer, Spencer 13 0.387 0.241 36.5 91.9 311
Stephenson, Tyler 12 0.28 0.163 40.5 92 303
Hayes, Ke'Bryan 12 0.354 0.207 33.5 90.3 332
Stewart, Sal 11 0.405 0.25 34.5 92.5 311
Friedl, TJ 7 0.07 0.065 42.7 94.9 272
De La Cruz, Elly 7 0.354 0.18 45.4 91.3 284
Suárez, Eugenio 7 0.271 0.144 42.4 94.2 296
Benson, Will 7 0.06 0.046 38 89.3 299
Myers, Dane 6 0.412 0.232 37.2 86 315
Hinds, Rece 2 0.048 0.042 53.5 81.7 239
Marte, Noelvi 2 0.092 0.09 48 82.3 202
Trevino, Jose 1 0.006 0.006 45 87.2 271
Team 101 0.287 0.173 38.8 90.8 348

In this chart we see the number of batted ball events that resulted in a fly out to an outfielder. The LAs here are incredibly high, which means all that exit velocity that we're doing fairly well in, is being wasted in the ball going up and not going out. Ideally, you want a LA no higher than 30*. Anything higher than that and you're looking at an EV of over 103 mph to clear the fence. The balls being caught are in and around 300ft. So even if the weather was warmer and drier, that extra 15-20ft wouldn't make much difference. These are very low xBA events.

This doesn't compare very well with the rest of the MLB.

Team BBE FB Outs Percentage
LAA 546 118 21.6%
DET 551 116 21.1%
KCR 524 105 20.0%
PHI 527 105 19.9%

NYM 579 100 17.3%

WSN 608 96 15.8%
TBR 598 94 15.7%
BOS 511 79 15.5%
HOU 606 93 15.3%
ARI 565 80 14.2%
MIL 526 71 13.5%

As you can see here, the Reds have the 5th highest percentage of batted ball events that result in fly ball outs. And it's not like our other batted ball events are home runs or triples. In fact, we rank dead last in extra base hits. Basically, we hit a bunch of singles and non-competitive fly ball outs. Combine this with our infield fly ball stat and you're looking at nearly 1/3rd of our batted ball events being fly ball outs. That's way too high. Only the Royals hit more fly outs than we do.

I'm sure the law of averages will get our LA to drop some. And that's actually something I think is starting to happen. Turning fly balls into line drives is a very real possibility. If the Reds can drop their LA down a few points between 12-15* we'll turn outs into doubles easily.

🔥 Heat Check: Reds vs Rays Series Preview

Reds (14-8) head to the Trop to face the Rays (12-9) for a three-game set starting tonight.

A few things to watch:

Sal Stewart's at bats continue to be must-see, but his contact quality has been quieter lately. Whether the production holds or cools off could be the story of the week, but all of his underlying metrics and plate approach remain outstanding.

Elly De La Cruz is hitting the ball harder than at any point in his career. Six homers already. Strikeouts will always be there, but he's electric as always.

Tyler Stephenson is hitting .183 but might be the most interesting at-bat on the roster. He's crushing the ball and refusing to chase. The hits should be coming.

Ke'Bryan Hayes is hitting .057 and has been called the unluckiest hitter in baseball. His contact says he should be doing much better, but the recent trend is worth watching. Expect plenty of chatter about his lack of production, because Reds fans are growing impatient with his despite his elite glove skills.

On the mound, Chase Burns has been solid but the walks are up. Brandon Williamson is quietly rebuilding his pitch arsenal, adding a plus slider and a sinker.

For Tampa, Yandy Diaz is locked in (.933 OPS) and Jonny DeLuca has been swinging a hot bat. But their bullpen has some soft spots the Reds can exploit. Jesse Scholtens starts the opener with a 0.00 ERA that his underlying numbers don't support. Junior Caminero remains an exciting young power bat, so we'll be watching to see if he lives up to the bar he set in 2025. Rays closer Bryan Baker blew a save against the Pirates last weekend, so let see if he can blow another this week.

Reds fans will spot two familiar faces in Tampa's dugout: Nick Martinez and Jake Fraley.
