The Cincinnati Reds don’t seem like a terribly easy team to be have fun playing on in 2019. Their record is 15-20, and if you happen to be a hitter on this team, there is a very good chance you’re having the worst season of your career. Even after breaking out for 37 runs in four games against the lowly San Francisco Giants — and still managing to lose two of those games — they still own the seventh-worst team wRC+ in the majors, the fifth-worst OBP, and the third-worst batting average. There are many culprits for this: Jose Peraza’s wRC+ is the worst of his career by 30 points; Joey Votto’s wRC+ is his career worst by 35 points; Yasiel Puig’s wRC+ is his career worst by 41 points.
At least Derek Dietrich is having fun
