Jared Hughes had a great season in 2018 for the Cincinnati Reds. He compiled a 1.94 ERA with 7 saves in 78.2 innings. His pitching repertoire of throwing sinking fastballs, getting ground balls, and limiting home runs worked to perfection in the hitter friendly Great American Ball Park. He pitched better than many thought he would in 2018. But, can he repeat that success in 2019?
Last offseason, the Cincinnati Reds weren’t very active when it came to making trades and signing free agents, not nearly as active as they’ve been the last few months.
