Reds once, but still promising prospect and centerpiece surrounding the Luis Castillo trade from the Seattle Mariners is set to make his Dominican Winter League Debut tonight for Gigantes del Cibao.
Disappointing 2024
It’s not a secret that Noelvi had one of the most disappointing seasons of any Red in 2024. In the offseason, he made terrible choices with taking steroids, then once he was eligible to come back, he was even worse. He ended up slashing .210/.248/.301/.549 – truthfully dreadful production, or lack of. He ended the 2024 year worth -1.8 bWAR. It’s a season you hope he can forget, that’s for sure.
Hopefully Noelvi Marte will help himself out a little more this year, stay focused, and be ready to play baseball. The DoWL was the start of his decline last year after a promising start to this MLB career. I think I’m willing to chalk up his 2024 struggles to the surroundings of his mishaps – he’s a lot better baseball player than he showed, especially defensively. Terry Francona has always had a great ability to connect with his Latin American players, let’s hope Noelvi Marte is no exception.

The Reds have been hitting better of late, but they are still dead last in average at .220 and 26th in on base percentage at .307. They are 27th in wRC+ and 26th in fWAR when it comes to offense. It’s clear that they still have a long way to go to get close to…
