The Cincinnati Reds have had some sluggers over the years. Players like Jay Bruce, Dave Parker and even Reggie Sanders rank in the Top 20 all-time in team history. Current star Eugenio Suárez is quickly approaching the Top 10, but isn’t there yet. So who is among the Reds best when it comes to slugging percentage?
Slugging percentage measures the productivity of a hitter. The metric involves a formula, that unlike batting average, puts more value on extra-base hits such as doubles and home runs. While not an actual percentage, slugging percentage gives added value to more productive hits.
