    If you look deeper into the numbers, it's interesting.

    First, overall the Reds were definitely unlucky, but not as unlucky as their BABIP suggests. They were 10 points unlucky in their wOBA according to Statcast, but 47 points unlucky according to their BABIP. Still that was next to last in the league according to statcast, so definitely unlucky.

    Second, player by player is even more interesting.

    Castellanos was the most unlucky of all returning starters, 32 points unlucky in his wOBA, that's a lot, meaning he's should rebound the most, probably close to his career norms.

    Senzel was the next most unlucky at 29 points, pointing to a big rebound from him too, assuming he's healthy.

    Suarez was actually rather close to his expected wOBA, meaning he just wasn't hitting the ball that well last year. But he was coming off an injury, and now is slimmer, so reason to be optimistic still.

    The rest of the starters were rather close to their expected wOBA, so not much to draw conclusions from.

    So it is looking good for the Reds to bounce back offensively next year.
    Interestingly enough (small sample alert) but Farmer was far and away the most unlucky on the team. His expected line was actually quite good for a SS.

    Yes for those of old enough to remember 80s camp movies, we are glad to see that Number 5 is alive!
