Cincinnati Reds catcher Austin Wynns has the fourth-highest OPS ever in the live ball era by a player who hits eighth or later in the lineup through the first 10 games of the season, according to OptaSTATS.

Wynns is slashing .500/.536/.885 with four extra-base hits in 10 games this season.

The Reds re-signed Wynns to a minor league deal back in January.

In Wednesday's win against the Miami Marlins, the veteran backstop had three hits including an RBI double and a home run.
