Brady Singer

The move to acquire Singer from Kansas City last offseason proved a win for Cincinnati. While he was ultimately left off the wild-card roster, Singer was a valuable back-end starter for the Reds during the regular season, going 14-12 with a 4.03 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 163:60 K:BB over 169.2 innings. He rattled off six straight quality starts from Aug. 12 to Sept. 12 and totaled 15 quality starts for the season, tying for 12th in the National League. Singer leans heavily on his sinker to help keep the ball on the ground, though he lost a fair amount off his groundball rate in 2025. A jump in HR/FB could spell trouble if Singer doesn't bring his groundball rate back up. A career 22.1 K% caps his upside, but the right-hander has now posted a FIP under 4.00 three of the past four seasons and he will continue to take the ball every fifth day. Read Past Outlooks
