Spencer Steer Stats

The rebuilding Cincinnati Reds plan to give infielder Spencer Steer a long look at third base going into next season, according to manager David Bell. Steer played in his first 28 major-league games in 2022, going 20-for-95 (.211) with two home runs, eight RBI and 12 runs scored in 108 plate appearances. Most of the 25-year-old's playing time came at the hot corner, both in the majors and minors, but he also has experience at second base and shortstop in his time on the farm. Veteran Mike Moustakas should also see time at third base, but the Reds appear to be more excited for Steer moving forward. Steer hit .274/.364/.515 with an .879 OPS, 23 home runs, 75 RBI, 80 runs scored and four stolen bases in three different minor-league stops last year.

Cincinnati Reds shortstop prospect Spencer Steer will be in the lineup "as much as possible," according to manager David Bell. Steer, the team's No. 7 prospect per MLB Pipeline, came over from the Minnesota Twins at the trade deadline in the deal that sent right-hander Tyler Mahle to Minnesota. He's making his major league debut on Friday, starting at third base and batting seventh against Colorado Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland. The 24-year-old will have a chance to impress the organization down the stretch after he hit a combined .274/.364/.515 with an .879 OPS, 23 home runs, 75 RBI, 80 runs scored and four stolen bases in 106 games with Triple-A St. Paul and Triple-A Louisville. Steer deserves a look in NL-only and deep mixed leagues the rest of the way.

The Cincinnati Reds will recall shortstop prospect Spencer Steer when rosters expand on Thursday, according to sources. Steer was acquired from the Minnesota Twins in the deadline deal that sent right-hander Tyler Mahle to the Twins last month. He has 27 hits (three homers and seven doubles) in 23 games since joining Triple-A Louisville. The Reds' No. 7 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, hit .242/.345/.485 with an .830 OPS, 12 home runs, 32 RBI, 39 runs scored and two stolen bases with Triple-A St. Paul before being traded. There's a good chance that the 24-year-old will take over starting duties at the 6 from Jose Barrero to close out the season for the rebuilding Reds, but he won't have much time to do damage in deeper fantasy leagues.
