In 2020, Cincinnati Reds pitcher Tejay Antone was one of the most productive rookie starting pitchers in the National League.
But manager David Bell believes Antone can make a bigger impact in the Reds bullpen.
“My gut tells me (after) the success he had out of the bullpen last year, (we) hope he can contribute and help us win,” Bell said. “That role is so valuable that I’m almost hopeful that it turns out that we can keep him in that role.”
In 2020, Antone pitched in just about every role for Cincinnati.
He debuted on July 27 against the Chicago Cubs and threw 4.
