Key Stat Shows Impact Eugenio Suarez Can Have For Reds This Season

On Sunday night, the Cincinnati Reds signed Eugenio Suarez to a one-year, $15 million deal. It was a move that brought all of Reds' country together for a night, as he was always a fan favorite during his time with Cincinnati.

Saurez has been one of Major League Baseball's best sluggers dating back to the 2022 season. Since 2022, he is just one of seven hitters in the entire league with 400 or more RBI, according to Just Baseball Media.

The other six players are Aaron Judge, Pete Alonso, Matt Olson, Kyle Schwarber, Shohei Ohtani, and Jose Ramirez. That is some elite company to be in.

He is also just one of seven players who had at least a 14% barrel percentage and a 25% pull air rate in 2026. The other five players were Cal Raleigh, Kyle Schwarber, Salvador Perez, Byron Buxton, Max Muncy, and Ben Rice. Once again, that is pretty strong company.

Cincinnati's top three home run hitters combined for 58 bombs last season. To put it in perspective on how much this team needed a power hitter, Suarez had 49 by himself in 2025.

The Reds desperately needed a power bat and on Sunday night, they got their man.

Eugenio Suarez is 1 of only 7 hitters with 400+ RBI since 2022!
