The Cincinnati Reds have witnessed many great players throughout their storied history, but Matt McLain is determined to carve out a legacy of his own—one that will bring back lost fans, reestablish the Reds as a powerhouse, and send shockwaves through Major League Baseball.
After missing the entire 2024 season due to shoulder surgery and a recurring oblique injury, McLain has not only returned stronger but also with a mission to reignite the spirit of Reds baseball. His explosive comeback has already given fans a glimpse of what’s to come, and according to him, this is only the beginning of a historic season.
A Determined Comeback After a Difficult Absence
McLain’s injury-plagued 2023 season ended with heartbreak as he was sidelined for more than a year. Concerns arose over whether he would be able to maintain his power-hitting form or if he would have to alter his swing to preserve his health. However, with his recent performances, he has put all doubts to rest.
In the Reds’ opening series of 2025, McLain immediately made an impact, blasting two home runs and a double while scoring three runs. His stellar performance earned him the Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Week Award, proving that he is not just back—he’s back with a vengeance.
A Bold Promise to the Team and Fans
After his incredible return, McLain made a powerful statement that has sent excitement throughout the Reds’ fanbase:
“I know what this team means to Cincinnati. I know how much history we have. And I know we’ve lost some fans along the way. But I promise you this—this season, we’re bringing them back. I’m going to make history, and we’re going to make sure MLB won’t forget what the Cincinnati Reds are capable of.”
McLain’s words weren’t just for show—his actions on the field are backing them up. His ability to deliver in clutch moments, paired with his passion for the game, has set the stage for what could be a defining year in both his career and the Reds’ history.
A Season That Could Shock the Baseball World
The Cincinnati Reds are not just hoping for a successful season—they are ready to make a statement. With McLain leading the charge, the team is looking to reestablish itself as a true contender.
Can McLain’s bold promise become a reality? Will he truly create a season that will bring back turncoat fans and shake the foundation of the MLB? If his early performances are any indication, the league had better take notice—because Matt McLain and the Cincinnati Reds are ready to make history.
