Looking back on the 2019 Cincinnati Reds, there were so many positives with the pitching staff. Michael Lorenzen exemplified both feats of having a solid year on the mound, being a constant threat at the plate, while showing he could roam the outfield with the likes of everyday players was none other than Michael Lorenzen.
Lorenzen is a phenomenal athlete. At 27-years old, the California native was given opportunities by David Bell, to not only be heavily relied in high-leverage situations out of the bullpen, but also had versatility to be a part of Bell’s infamous double switches, being inserted late in games to pinch hit and then remain in the game as an outfielder.
