LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Left fielder Adam Duvall didn't just walk into the Reds Caravan stop at Louisville Slugger Field as a hometown-raised Major League player. The packed room recognized that Duvall did much more in 2016.
Duvall not only hit 33 home runs with 103 RBIs last season -- his first as a full-time big leaguer -- but he also made the National League All-Star team and took part in the Home Run Derby. His defense made him a finalist for the NL Gold Glove Award.
Therefore, it was no surprise that Duvall received the loudest applause from fans and took a lion's share of the queries during the open microphone Q&A session.
