The Cincinnati Reds have a storied history, with some of the greatest hitters of the game suiting up in the Queen City.

But, who were the best Reds hitters from the past decade?
The past decade has seen a few highs, and unfortunately, several lows for Reds hitters. After much success in early part of the decade, a rebuild that started in 2014 still seems to be dragging on.

Aristides Aquino offers promise for the Reds heading into the next decade after blasting 12 homers the month of August last year.
