The young talent has certainly showed out early in Cincinnati Reds camp in Goodyear. Matt McLain kabong’d a walk-off homer in the team’s Cactus League opener, Christian Encarnacion-Strand socked a pair of lasers on Monday, and Noelvi Marte barreled a rocket already, too. Spencer Steer has been on base a couple of times already, and while the overall results weren’t pristine, Hunter Greene said he was “really, really happy” with his first outing yesterday, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com.
It’s enough to make you excited about the future of the club, even if the present still seems to have been wholly neglected.
