In August of 2019, it looked like Aristides Aquino was going to be the next great power hitter in baseball. Less than three years later, the record-setting rookie has become an afterthought. How did this happen?

Aristides Aquino is the only MLB player whose batting stance can be a form of entertainment on its own.

As a Reds fan, I have seen enough of him to know that the crazy month he had, even though it was quite memorable, was not a true tale in the slightest. He has definitely been on the struggle bus non-stop since then. Nevertheless, even though they had a losing season, 2019 was one heck of a time to be a Reds fan

Couple corrections, Castellanos was basically the day one Right fielder when he got here, so Aquinio didn't lose time because he played mostly Left field. And second he wasn't included on the 2020 opening day roster and was relegated to the backup team (idk what else to call it, 2020 was weird)

@ralphus44 2 года назад

Aquino has been horrible so far this year. 2 for 38 (.053) with one homer and 21 strikeouts. That means he strikes out more than half the time. Pitchers know he can't hit breaking balls so that's basically all he gets. The only reason the Reds haven't cut him is because there's no one in the minors who's ready for the big leagues. This is a very weak team.
