On Aug. 16, 2022, Reds outfielder TJ Friedl told himself to take a lesson with him from the chance he was getting to be back in the big leagues.
The Reds had just called Friedl back up to MLB for the fifth time in the 2022 season. Some of his stints in MLB in 2022 lasted a few weeks. One lasted two days. When Friedl got called back up last August, there were no guarantees that he'd be back in the big leagues for very long.
