The Cincinnati Reds head into the 2026 season with something they haven’t always had at first base — depth, power, and legitimate upside.

In this video, we break down the Reds’ first base situation, including:

• Why Sal Stewart could emerge as the primary first baseman• What Eugenio Suarez brings after hitting 49 home runs in 2025• Spencer Steer’s role and why his production after May was encouraging• Christian Encarnacion-Strand’s path back to the big leagues• Why first base could be one of the Reds’ strongest offensive positions

Stewart’s rapid rise, Suarez’s elite power, and Steer’s versatility give the Reds multiple ways to generate offense at the position.

If the Reds get the production they expect, first base could be a major strength for this team in 2026.
