The 2024 Cincinnati Reds faced a disappointing season, concluding fourth in the NL Central and eliminated from postseason contention. Elly De La Cruz shone brightly, capturing the stolen base title and demonstrating exciting potential. Hunter Greene's development as a promising ace was another highlight.

However, injuries and underperformance plagued several key players, including Matt McLain and Christian Encarnacion-Strand, while veteran outfielders struggled to meet expectations. The bullpen had its challenges, notably with Alexis Díaz's decline.

Looking ahead, the Reds have a solid infield structure and promising pitching prospects, indicating potential for improvement in 2025. With the right acquisitions and player development, Cincinnati aims to finally return to postseason action after a long absence.
