Aristides Aquino - get him right now if you can

I called this one at 8 hr, this is one of the best hitters we've ever seen

Thu, Aug 29

Aristides Aquino went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI as his team fell to the Marlins on Thursday.

Advice: The legend continues to build. The rookie slugger ripped a two-run homer with Joey Votto aboard in the first inning. He drove in Votto again with a single to center field in the eighth frame, a play that tied the game and sent it to extra innings. Aquino also hit a screaming liner that knocked third baseman Starlin Castro to the ground and was scored a single. Aquino reached 14 home runs in his 28th career game, breaking a record held by Rhys Hoskins, who hit his 14th career homer in his 30th game in 2017. Aquino is slashing .330/.393/.804 with 14 home runs and 32 RBI in 92 at-bats. He has bashed a combined total of 42 homers in just 105 games this year between the majors and minors.

Player Note Thu, Aug 29

Aristides Aquino went 2-for-4 and blasted a three-run homer in a 5-0 win over the Marlins on Wednesday.

Advice: Another homer, another batch of records for the rookie phenom. He took Sandy Alcantara deep with two runners aboard in the first inning. He now has 13 home runs in the month of August, which ties him with Cody Bellinger for the most homers by any rookie in any month in National League history. The Reds have four more games in August thanks to a double-header on Saturday against the Cardinals. Aquino reached 13 homers in 27 career games, faster than any player ever. Aquino also doubled in the ballgame and is slashing .315/.382/.783 with 29 RBI and two stolen bases in 88 at-bats. Prior to his call-up he set a franchise record with 28 home runs at Triple-A Louisville and he did it in only 78 games.
