Zack Wheeler hit a homer in 2019, the first such blast of his career. His .561 OPS in a career high 64 PA last year raised his career mark to a bawdy .371, though to date he’s still never once tripled.
Hardly the kind of offensive upgrade sought by the Cincinnati Reds this winter, it would appear. Fortunately, though, Wheeler packs quite the ability to throw the baseball with his pitcher-like offense, and despite the Reds seemingly being set in their rotational ways, it appears Cincinnati does have interest in the free agent righty.
