BREAKING: Chris Valaika is coming back as the Reds' hitting coach. 

Assistant hitting coach Will Remillard is not.

The offense he is being asked to coach again was last in baseball in batting average and on-base percentage. The Reds hit .229 with a .305 on-base percentage, both last in the majors. They scored 666 runs, 27th in baseball, after scoring 716 and finishing 14th in 2025. 

They were second in the National League in home runs and last in the National League in runs scored. Nick Krall said they added power, finished second in homers, and still need to get on base and make better contact.

Mason Estep of RedsDaily.com breaks down and explains the Reds hitting coach situation and the state of affairs for the Cincinnati Reds.
