JJ Bleday Boosts Reds’ Outfield Defense

After Cincinnati cleared a 40-man spot for Bleday, the former Vandy center fielder projects as a defensive outfield add and late-inning option. Post-All-Star 2025: .252/.306/.495 in 111 PA, .339 wOBA, 115 wRC+ and six homers. “A good defensive add in the outfield,” said Baseball Unstitched. Bleday gives the Reds a low-risk, upside outfield piece and a potential playoff contributor.
