That’s even before he showed up on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a high school senior. There’s a lot in there from both Johnson and pitchers about how he goes about coaching and teaching – In 11 games Cincinnati has hit .311/.410/.511 against him and his ERA is 6.80. Making his first start on Opening Day, Hunter Greene is going to look to pick up where he left off last year when over his final six starts of the season he posted a 1.02 ERA with 51 strikeouts and just eight walks in 35.1 innings pitched. Last year the team posted an .897 OPS against him and his ERA was 7.07 when facing off against the Reds. In his career, Keller has been crushed by the Reds. At 4:10pm ET the Reds will take on the Pittsburgh Pirates to kick off the 2023 season. Coming off of a good 2022 season, Keller’s record of 5-12 didn’t reflect his 3.91 ERA – but the Pirates offense didn’t do him many favors. 11 K% BB%

On the injury front, Tejay Antone and Justin Dunn were moved to the 60-day IL to create roster spots for two of the additions, while Nick Solak’s designation for assignment created a third. With the news that they would be waiting until Thursday morning to finalize it, it made a lot of us believe there would be either a trade or waiver claims to augment things in the final hours before rosters were due. Derek Law, lefty Alex Young, and infielder Jason Vosler all made the cut and needed to be added to the team’s 40-man roster to make the moves work administratively.

While we know that Hunter Greene will be the Reds Opening Day starter, who might manager David Bell pencil into the starting lineup?

The last time the Pirates visited Cincinnati on Opening Day the Reds fans went home happy. First pitch is slated for 4:10 PM ET, so get out to the ballpark early and enjoy the sights and sounds of Opening Day in Cincinnati. It's been a tight competition all spring between Jose Barrero and Kevin Newman, but the former top infield prospect has done enough to warrant the start on Opening Day. Right-hander Mitch Keller will take the ball for the Pittsburgh Pirates today, so David Bell will undoubtedly counter that with a left-handed heavy lineup. There's also a number of relievers who'll start 2023 on the IL. While some finishing touches still need to be made before the team takes the field this afternoon, for all intents and purposes, the 2023 [Cincinnati Reds](https://blogredmachine.com/cincinnati-reds-news/) Opening Day roster is set.

The Reds finalized their 26-man Opening Day roster Thursday. It includes 19 players who were on the team last season.

RP Reiver Sanmartin – He found a home in the bullpen after a rough stretch as a starter last season. He had a 2.39 ERA in 24 appearances for the Giants last season. RP Buck Farmer – He will enter the season in a setup man role after producing a 2.83 ERA across his last 34 appearances last season. RP Derek Law – Back on an Opening Day roster for the first time since 2017, Law had as good of a spring training as anybody. He missed most of last season with a back injury, but he was dedicated all winter to winning a spot in the rotation. RP Fernando Cruz – It took 15 years from the year Cruz was drafted before he achieved his dream of playing in the majors. He’s a free agent at the end of the season. He had a 2.92 ERA with 93 strikeouts in 77 innings after the All-Star break last year. C Curt Casali – He’s back for a second stint with the Reds (2018-20) after he signed a one-year deal in December. He had a 1.75 ERA in his last eight starts with 66 strikeouts in 46 1/3 innings. 1B Jason Vosler – He signed with the Reds on a minor league deal after playing 77 games with the Giants over the past two years. OF Stuart Fairchild – He was cut from major league camp during the spring but brought back for the Opening Day roster.

For me personally, I felt like I was locked in the whole at-bat," he said. "He really had to work hard that [third] inning.
