What if there’s no DH for the Cincinnati Reds in 2021?

If you ignore the minuscule 21 PA sample that Michael Lorenzen and Tyler Stephenson combined to put up at the plate in 2021, Jesse Winker led the Cincinnati Reds in just about every way offensively during the 2020 season. By wOBA, wRC+, ISO, SLG, you name it, Winker’s offensive breakout championed what was otherwise a lackluster overall offense, even after a late-season back issue saw his numbers slide to the finish.

Of the 183 times Winker came to the plate in 2020, 132 of them came with him serving as the Reds Designated Hitter.
