Players to Watch: Cincinnati Reds vs. San Francisco Giants
Cincinnati Reds
Sal Stewart — 1B. The rookie first baseman is hitting .263 with 27 home runs and 98 RBIs, making him the offensive centerpiece of Cincinnati’s lineup down the stretch. His .336 on-base percentage and .472 slugging mark show a hitter who does damage in the middle of the order rather than just piling up empty at-bats.
Elly De La Cruz — SS. The switch of gears at shortstop is real, with De La Cruz pairing 21 home runs and 58 RBIs with 22 stolen bases, a rare blend of pop and speed at the position. He carries a .343 on-base percentage into tonight’s game, giving Cincinnati a table-setter capable of scoring from second on a single.
JJ Bleday — LF. Bleday has quietly matched De La Cruz’s power total, socking 21 home runs and driving in 51 runs from the outfield corner. A .334 on-base percentage to go with a .445 slugging mark points to a hitter who works counts as well as he drives the ball.
San Francisco Giants
Jung Hoo Lee — RF. Lee is hitting .289 on the season out of right field, a contact-oriented profile in a Giants lineup built more around power. His .324 on-base percentage and .425 slugging mark round out a complete offensive game for a player who sprays the ball to all fields.
Rafael Devers — 1B. Devers has supplied 26 home runs and 70 RBIs at first base despite a .241 batting average that reflects a season of streaky stretches at the plate. When he connects, the ball tends to leave the yard in a hurry.
Willy Adames — SS. The veteran shortstop has chipped in 21 home runs and 51 RBIs while hitting .230, with a .424 slugging percentage that underscores his extra-base pop from the middle infield. He gives San Francisco a steady defensive presence who can also change the scoreboard.
