First Round Matchup | No. 1 Joey Votto v. No. 16 Felipe Lopez
Joey Votto
Without a doubt, the best Cincinnati Reds hitter of the 21st century — with an argument for the best in the team’s history — is Votto. To date, the 10-year veteran has hit .310 with 277 doubles, 193 home runs and 639 runs batted in. He also has one of the best eyes in the history of the sport, with his career .422 on-base percentage currently ranking 17th on the all-time list.
The Toronto native was taken as a catcher in the second round of the 2002 draft and after switching positions to first base, he debuted in September 2007.
