Connor Overton completes his long road back to the Reds
Four months ago, Connor Overton was the most productive starting pitcher in the Cincinnati Reds’ rotation.
On May 17, Overton made what was at the time one of the best starts of the Reds season. He threw 7 \u2154 innings in a win over the Cleveland Guardians, and Overton was throwing so well that the umpire made a comment to Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson about how good Overton’s command was.
Overton left the mound that day feeling healthy and holding a 1.82 ERA. He had no idea that his back was in bad shape and that he wouldn’t make another start before going on the 60-day IL.
