Matt McLain is making a strong case for the leadoff role with a blistering spring, highlighted by two home runs and six RBIs in a single game against the Cubs, propelling the Reds to a 17-9 victory. As McLain sets the stage for the dynamic Elly De La Cruz, whose omission from MLB's bold predictions for 50 homers is baffling, the Reds are at a pivotal juncture. With an impressive 190 stolen bases last season, the team is embracing its speed, and McLain and De La Cruz are leading the charge. The infusion of Statcast data this spring is revealing who’s truly standing out, and for the Reds, it’s clear the pressure is mounting as they prepare for a season of high expectations and thrilling baseball.
