With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing the cancelation of all high school spring sports, local seniors were forced to deal with the abrupt reality that their prep careers were over. A group of these student-athletes were members of the Cincinnati Reds RBI program, many of whom were also regulars at the P&G Cincinnati MLB Youth Academy over the years. With our Senior Spotlight series, the Reds want to recognize these players for their efforts and wish them well in their future endeavors, both on and off the field.

The Reds Community Fund and USA Baseball have created a special Fun At Bat program for kids to learn or enhance their bat and ball skills at home. Fun At Bat is an introductory program for kids ages 5-10 (K – 5th grade) with an emphasis on character development, functional movement, literacy, active play and fun. The overarching goal of the program is to promote fun and active lifestyles for children while teaching them the fundamentals of baseball and softball. Participants will have access to video sessions with each one focusing on a different aspect of the game.
