With the pitchers and catchers set to report to spring training in just about a month, the Cincinnati Reds got eleven young pitchers and four catchers together to discuss things in Arizona. The Reds held the summit back in 2016. That season was awful, but hopefully 2018 won’t be.
This year’s summit was an interesting combination of starters and relievers. It also included young veterans and players that haven’t reached the majors. The combination says something in and of itself.
Brandon Finnegan is the most veteran player of the group. In that disastrous 2016 season, he was the only pitcher to make every start in his spot.
