Unlike the recent history of Cincinnati Reds baseball, the starting rotation has been the team’s biggest strength in the early going of the 2019 season. No pitcher on the Reds staff has been more electric than 26-year-old ace, Luis Castillo. It’s early, but Castillo has to be the front-runner for the NL Cy Young.
The Cincinnati Reds rank second in ERA as the pitching staff has combined to post a 3.21 ERA that only falls behind the Tampa Bay Rays 3.07 ERA. Sonny Gray has posted an impressive 3.64 ERA. Anthony DeSclafani has put together several quality outings and his ERA sits at 3.
