Vladimir Gutiérrez is facing make-or-break time with the Reds.
Vladimir Gutiérrez has had high expectations since signing with the Cincinnati Reds for nearly $5M in the fall of 2016. The Cuban right-hander, who signed at 21-years old, was looked at a guy who could advance quickly through the minors, although he was still raw in some areas. As the Reds flip the calendar to 2021, what does the future hold for Gutiérrez?
Vladimir Gutierrez sat in the mid-90’s with his fastball and also could drop down an advanced curveball and a developing slider and changeup.
