Reds’ Joey Votto tries to rebound from subpar season
GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Joey Votto has spent the off-season trying to make sure he doesn’t have another subpar season.
The Cincinnati Reds star led the NL in on-base percentage last year but hit 12 homers, his fewest in a full season, and batted .284, his lowest since 2014. He had 67 RBIs.
“It was the first year where I had a poor offensive year,” the Toronto native said. “It is hard to speak on this without sounding arrogant. I’ve always performed at a certain level. Last year was a bit of a shock. I didn’t perform anywhere near to what I’m used to.”
