Reds' Andrew Abbott gives the spring debut, could start with the season in good time

Goodyear, ariz. – It never takes long for Andrew Abbott to feel a baseball. He will not say that he could not roll out of bed and turn a light switch through the room with the throw of a baseball, but it would not really surprise it if he could.

In his first spring start of 2025, Abbott said that he had the feeling that he was pretty much to find the ball where he wanted, even if Carlos Santana had marked him in the first inn of the 3-0 victory of the Cleveland Guardians on Monday evening in the Goodyear ball for a double double double.

Abbott, the suspected fifth starter of the Red, when the 2025 season opened in just more than a week, missed the last six weeks of 2024 with a left -wing shoulder pollution. He was held behind his teams to start to start the Reds training camp and logged his first start of the spring the day after Brady Singer's stomach.

“I had the feeling that the situation was great on pretty much all parking spaces – (Carlos) Santana hit a slider in the zone of me, and that will happen,” said Abbott. “I think the greatest thing that comes out of it is not to be expected that I will be 100 percent of what I will be in the season. It's my first time against rackets.”

Abbott was not 100 percent on Monday and allowed two runs with three goals over three innings and after a walk and single gave up a double with two runs to start his spring season. But after giving up the two runs, he excluded the next two batteries and only allowed one further goal. At this point, however, the most important statistics were that he threw 48 parking spaces with 29 strikes and the results, which was so much before the spring result.

After the first four starters in the rotation have already been announced – Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo, Nick Martinez and singer – the Reds would first need a fifth starter in Milwaukee on April 3.

There are 17 days to this start and exactly enough time to start against the brewers during the regular break. This timing would enable him to start one of the two Split Quad games on the penultimate day of the Reds in Arizona.

Abbott was either able to record in a simulated game on the opening day in Cincinnati or stay behind in Arizona and, in a game with Minor League in the team of the team in Goodyear, play a game in a game with a small league.

Abbott said he thinks it was a lot of time, but in the end it is not his decision.

“I feel ready, I think today was a great step-I could do three uprisings,” said Abbott, referring to the times to get into the shelter and then return to the shelter, which meant a full inning of the work. “The next one will be four and so on.”

For Abbott, he would feel comfortable with five up and 75 parking spaces in the season.

“(Reds manager Terry Francona) may want a little more – he is a little more old school,” said Abbott. “But that's about what I would think.”

Francona said he liked what he looked out of Abbott, but that he only had to throw pitch and build up his workload enough to start the season.

When the countdown reaches single -digit digits until the opening day, the timing could open the door for the man, which came through the door of the left field after Abbott, Carson Spier.

The right -hander ended the game for the red. Spines only allowed one goal over five innings – a Solo -Homerun by Austin Hecken in the seventh inning. He went two and excluded two.

“I won't do the squad, I won't do that,” said Francona. “But he deported his ass.”

It was just a third appearance of spring in Cactus League games. He thrown 10 inner rings and approved three runs in this period and at the same time played in the back fields. He also won another admirer in Francona, who played with the Milwaukee Brewers with the Milwaukee Brewers in 1989 and 1990.

“He handled himself very well,” said Francona. “I don't know him as well as the rest of these guys.

As for the squad?

“Everyone who is still on the squad has a chance,” said Francona.
