The Reds felt like they made progress during the 2019 season, but they didn't meet their expectations with a 75-87 record and their sixth consecutive losing season.

Starting pitching became a strength. The bullpen performed well for most of the year. Their defense showed improvements. Eugenio Suárez had another stellar offensive year.

It turned into an eight-win improvement from the 2018 season.
