The newest member of the Cincinnati Reds is a 30 year old who last played in 2016 with the Los Angeles Dodgers where he pitched in 61 games, garnishing a 4.69 ERA. In 48 innings pitched, Coleman struck out 45 while walking 24 batters. Louis Coleman had a run of noticeable success during his stint with the Kansas City Royals from 2011 to 2015.
The Cincinnati Reds hope that Coleman can bring some juice back into the diminished Reds’ bullpen. Last season’s bullpen was ranked 29th in the MLB in ERA.
