Players to Watch: Cincinnati Reds vs. New York Mets
Cincinnati Reds
Elly De La Cruz — SS. The Reds’ shortstop is hitting .284 with 12 home runs and 37 RBIs, anchoring the middle of a Cincinnati lineup that needs his bat to set the tone. His .349 on-base percentage paired with a .518 slugging line makes him one of the toughest at-bats in the National League from the shortstop position.
Andrew Abbott — SP. Today’s starter takes the ball at 4-2 with a 3.97 ERA across 56.2 innings of work this season. His 1.46 WHIP and 38 strikeouts suggest a pitcher who works around traffic rather than overpowering hitters, which puts pressure on the Reds’ defense behind him against a Mets lineup missing several regulars.
New York Mets
Juan Soto — LF. The Mets’ left fielder is hitting .293 with 11 home runs and 23 RBIs, giving New York a key power bat during a difficult stretch. His combination of average and power makes him one of the main threats Abbott will need to manage, especially with several Mets regulars sidelined.
Bo Bichette — 3B. Bichette comes in with a team-best 27 RBIs to go with 5 home runs and a .228 average, providing run production even when the average doesn’t pop. With Francisco Lindor sidelined, his bat becomes even more central to the Mets’ chances of stringing together a rally.
Huascar Brazobán — SP. The home starter enters at 3-1 with a 1.78 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP through 25.1 innings. His 19 strikeouts and strong run prevention have made him a useful option for New York, though his shorter workload means the Mets’ bullpen could still play a major role.
