Augusta and the Masters may have their tradition of the green jacket, but that doesn’t quite have the shine of the silver jacket, the reward for the Reds relievers’ conditioning drills.

For several years, the Reds relievers have caught footballs as part of their conditioning. Each player has a small, plastic football and they run routes as strength and conditioning coach Sean Marohn throws it. It’s basically a way to break up the monotony of running sprints.

To break that tedium further, this year the Reds relievers have turned it into a contest.
