The last time catcher Tyler Stephenson attended Redsfest, which is returning after a two-year hiatus Friday and Saturday, he had yet to make his Major League debut.
Now Stephenson is one of the longer-tenured players on the roster and he’s expected to be one of the faces of the team.
“There’s definitely room for all of us, not only myself, but we have a bunch of other young guys, to fill some roles,” Stephenson said.
The Reds are hoping Stephenson will be a mainstay in the middle of their lineup and take a leadership role as one of the faces of the team.
