Cincinnati Reds Hope Terry Francona Helps Improve at the 'Little Things' in 2025. The Reds struggled defensively and on the base paths in 2024.
The Reds failed to meet expectations in 2024, and a big part of that was due to their struggles with the little things.
Whether it was failing to move a runner over in a key spot, getting thrown out on the base paths, or making too many defensive miscues, the Reds will aim to make significant strides in these areas in 2025.“That’s what is really good at, making sure those little things are done correctly and holding players accountable. That’s really exciting to see that. I think players are excited to have that, as well.
Terry Francona is known for being a player's manager but also for getting the best out of his players. He has talked with every single player on the roster.“He’s had continuous conversations. It’s been a lot of fun. A lot of guys have really responded to where we’re going. He’s all-in.” With Francona at the helm, the Reds are hopeful that his leadership and attention to detail will help them turn the corner in 2025, bringing a new level of discipline and focus that could finally push them back into contention.
