As the Colorado Rockies prepare to host the Cincinnati Reds at Coors Field, Denver, on April 25, all eyes will be on the standout performances of key players.

Another player to watch from the Rockies is Aaron Schunk, who plays third base.

His ability to get on base and contribute offensively will be crucial for the Rockies as they face off against a formidable Reds team.


Reds' Key Players to Watch


The Cincinnati Reds come into this matchup with their own set of star performers ready to make an impact. Elly De La Cruz, playing shortstop for the Reds, has been exceptional at the plate recently. Over his last three games against the Miami Marlins, De La Cruz has posted a batting average of .278 with an OPS of .811. His ability to consistently get on base and drive in runs makes him a critical component of the Reds' offensive strategy.
