The Cincinnati Reds came into the season with one of the better pitching staffs in all of baseball. They had All-Stars Hunter Greene and Andrew Abbott at the top of the rotation, followed by Nick Lodolo and Brady Singer. They also had a trio of young pitchers, Brandon Williamson, Rhett Lowder, and Chase Burns, banging on the door of stardom to round out the rotation.
But after injuries to Greene and Lodolo, a lot of pressure has been placed on the shoulders of Lowder, Williamson, and Burns. Burns was excellent in his first start, but it’s Lowder who has turned more heads than anybody on Cincinnati’s pitching staff this season.
Lowder was dominant in his first outing of the season against the Boston Red Sox. He allowed three hits, two walks, and two runs across five innings in a Reds win. But his most recent outing against the Texas Rangers was even better.
