Already in his third year playing in the Majors, JT Riddle somehow has never gotten to play at Great American Ball Park.

The shortstop, who grew up about 60 miles away in Kentucky, went down with an injury just before the Miami Marlins’ trip to Cincinnati in 2017 and was still rehabbing another injury when they played their annual road series against the Cincinnati Reds in 2018.
