Reds Breakout Player for 2021

[REDREAD]

Lots of good choices.
Just to be different, I am going to say Castallanos puts together a monster 860-900 OPS season this year.
He's motivated by the opt out, he had his adjustment period last year and finds more consistency this year.

[SirFelixCat]

I'm going with Antone. He seems to have had some hype going into ST, but it's petered out. He's my pick.

[JaxRed]

You guys are going with a lot of obvious choices like India and Mahle. I'll say Fullmer

[Griffey012]

Antone broke out last year, IMO.

[klw]

I'm going to go with either Antone or Lorenzen. One of them will own that rotation spot.

[757690]

Cionel Perez

I think he’s either going to be a solid set up guy or a solid rotation member.

[RedsManRick]

Jesse Winker. I think he's a borderline All-Star and the biggest threat in the lineup.

[BluegrassRedleg]

Antone broke out last year, IMO.

Need to have a full year to say.

[Griffey012]

I’ll throw Kyle Farmer into the mix. Had promising improvements last year, batted ball data gave him an expected OPS around .800. I think he forces himself into the lineup against LHP and carries a wRC+ near 100.

[Griffey012]

Need to have a full year to say.

If you’re gonna say he takes over a rotation spot and is our 2nd or 3rd best starter, sure that’s another level of breaking out for him. But if he’s just a really good bullpen arm that’s nothing new.

Do we still do breakout players? Because I have one.

Sal Romano.

He was completely unrecognizable last time I saw him pitch, and he's the biggest proof of concept Boddy has. If they have re-worked his delivery to add spin and movement to his pitches, maybe, just maybe, he can be an asset in the pen. Maybe even more than just an asset. He throws pretty hard.

India is the easy answer, but he's a former 1st round pick. He's supposed to be where he is right now.

Looking good so far. He does look like a different pitcher, he’s getting guys out.

Behind Romano as breakout so far

1) Romano
2) Fulmer

Mahle and Winker.....if and only if Bell leaves them alone.

I think Reds fans will be talking about extending both of these players by year's end.
