Michael Lorenzen expects to start for the Reds in 2021.

Michael Lorenzen, speaking to Jon Morosi and Jim Duquette on MLB Network Radio, sounded confident in his intentions to be a starting pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds next season. Lorenzen began his career as a starting pitcher, but has come out of Cincinnati’s bullpen the last several seasons while earning a spot start here and there.

As it stands, the Reds rotation may look quite different as we head into the 2021 season.
