The Cincinnati Reds have a different Opening Day starting pitcher the past three seasons. This year Homer Bailey took the mound. In 2017 Scott Feldman took the mound for the first pitch of the Reds’ season, and Raisel Iglesias, now Cincinnati’s closer, toed the rubber to start the 2016 campaign. Will Anthony DeSclafani be the next Reds’ pitcher to start on Opening Day for the Redlegs?
The Cincinnati Reds’ starting pitching has been their biggest weakness this season. Rarely have their starters been able to go more than five innings.
