Cincinnati Reds have loaded set of non-roster pitching options
The Cincinnati Reds brought eleven pitchers into camp as non-roster invitees.
The Cincinnati Reds have had several difficult season on the pitching side. This year the staff looks more set than it has recently. The Reds still loaded their non-roster invitees with pitchers that could earn a spot on the staff.
The group was headlined by Jeff Manship. He has pitched in 157 games with a career ERA of 4.82. He is a reliever and played overseas in 2017, but didn’t pass his physical.
Joe Mantiply also has the Reds excited. He is a lefty that came up in the Detroit Tigers organization. He was a good reliever throughout his ascension, but had a weak debut in 2016.
