Cincinnati Reds: Ranking the top 10 hitters of the decade (2010-2019)

7. Adam Duvall, Outfielder (2015-2018)

Adam Duvall, along with Keury Mella, was dealt to the Cincinnati Reds at the 2015 trade deadline. In exchange, the Reds shipped Mike Leake to the San Francisco Giants. While Mella was supposed to be the cornerstone of that deal, in actually, Duvall had the better career. Duvall made a trip to the Midsummer Classic in 2016 before being dealt to the Atlanta Braves in 2018.

Duvall played on 28 games before being dealt to the Reds prior to 2015, and played just 27 games for Cincinnati that season. However, after making the Opening Day roster in 2016, Duvall exploded onto the scene. By June, Duvall was tied for the major league lead in homers and was selected to the All-Star Game as reserve.

The Reds slugger competed in the Home Run Derby, but fell in the semifinals to former Reds third baseman Todd Frazier. Duvall finished 2016 with 33 home runs to lead the team. Duvall also led the club in RBIs (103) and was third in OPS (.795), walks (41), and slugging (.498). Unfortunately, Duvall also led the Reds in strikeouts (164).

Adam Duvall was traded at the deadline during the 2018 season. The former Louisville Cardinal was sent to Atalanta. In return, the Reds received pitcher Matt Wisler and Lucas Sims, as well as outfielder Preston Tucker. Duvall wrapped up his Reds career with 84 home runs and 272 RBIs. His batting average, unfortunately, was just .235.
