LOUISVILLE BATS SEASON IN REVIEW
BATS NOTES
DOUBLE THE TROUBLE, TWICE THE FUN: In 2024, the Bats defense relied on the double play to get out of many jams. Louisville ended the 2024 season with 146 double plays, most in the International League and 4th in all of Minor League Baseball behind Tacoma (157), Albuquerque (149), and Reno (148). The double play was clutch in big situations for the Bats, as the pitching staff induced 12 double plays with the bases loaded, tied for third in the IL and tied for sixth in MiLB. Additionally, the Bats led the IL and tied for 2nd in MiLB with 72 double plays turned at home. The Bats turned at least three double plays on nine separate occasions, with a seasonhigh of four coming in a seven-inning game against Toledo on 5/24 in the second game of a twin bill. The Bats also twice recorded a streak of five straight games of multiple double plays on defense, first from 5/18-24 and then again from 8/22-27. These numbers continue a trend from 2023, when the Bats led the IL with 156 double plays.
WALK-OFF SHOTS: Edwin Rios' back-to-back walk-off home runs on 9/5 and 9/6 vs. Jacksonville were the fourth and fifth by the Bats in 2024, following two from catcher Michael Trautwein (3/30 vs. IND, 7/10 vs. STP) and one from fellow catcher Austin Wynns (5/24 vs. TOL). The five walk-off big flies tie the franchise record for most home runs in the Louisville Slugger Field/Reds affiliation era, which began in 2000. The record was originally set in 2002, when Louisville lifted five walk-off homers during the third season at Louisville Slugger Field. With his big homers against the Jumbo Shrimp in early September, Rios became the first Louisville player to hit a walk-off home run in back-to-back games.
WE'RE GOING STREAKING: During the first half of the season, the Bats used the long ball to their advantage in a big way. From 5/4-6/1, the Bats set a new franchise record by hitting at least one home run in 24 consecutive games. During that streak, Louisville had a 16-8 record, hitting 37 home runs, with Peyton Burdick leading the team with five. The streak fell just shy of the IL record of 26 consecutive games with a home run, set by Charlotte in 2019.
BIG BOPPIN' BATS: In addition to the 24-game home run streak, the Bats have amazed with the distance of a few of their home runs. It began on 5/2, when Rece Hinds obliterated a 494-foot home run off the scoreboard at St. Paul's CHS Field, at the time the longest home run in the game. Less than three weeks later on 5/21, Peyton Burdick took the title from Hinds with a monstrous 500-foot home run off the scoreboard at Louisville Slugger Field, a feat rarely achieved at the Bats' home field. That home run is the longest in Louisville Slugger Field history and was the only 500-foot homer in baseball in 2024. This is only one of five 500-foot home runs recorded in the Statcast Era, which began in 2015. In the second game of a doubleheader on 5/24, Burdick added to his tally with a 482-foot home run off the batter's eye in dead center field at Louisville Slugger Field, the third longest home run in 2024 at the time. Now, Burdick's 482-foot blast is the fifth longest in baseball this season. As a team, the Bats boast three of the five longest home runs in baseball (MLB and Triple-A) in 2024. For comparison, the longest home run in all of Major League Baseball this year is from the Marlins' Jesus Sanchez, who hit a 480-foot homer against the Reds on 8/5 at Miami's LoanDepot Park.

GREAT GENETICS: A number of players on the 2024 Bats have fathers that excelled in professional sports. Starter Brandon Leibrandt is the son of former Major Leaguer Charlie Leibrandt, who pitched in 394 MLB games between the Reds, Royals, Braves, and Rangers from 1979-93 and won a World Series with Kansas City in 1985. Charlie and Brandon Leibrandt are now the seventh father/son duo to play for the Reds after Brandon's Cincinnati debut on 8/29 vs. Oakland. Michael Trautwein's father, John, pitched in nine Major League games for the Red Sox in 1988 while also spending parts of three seasons with Pawtucket in the International League from 1988-90. Conner Capel's father, Mike, pitched in 49 major League games for the Cubs, Astros, and Brewers from 198891. Carson Spiers' uncle, Bill, played 13 big league seasons from 1989-2001 between the Brewers, Mets, and Astros. Casey Legumina's father, Gary, pitched in four minor league seasons from 1982-86, reaching as high as Double-A San Antonio in the Dodgers' system. Of course, Casey Kelly's dad, Pat, is the Bats' manager and also played in the big leagues for the 1980 Blue Jays. Outside of baseball, Justin Bruihl's father, Gene, was a professional bowler with six PBA titles. Spencer Stockton's father, Dick, was an elite professional tennis player who was ranked as high as No. 8 in the world in 1977 and played in the semifinals of Wimbledon in 1974.
CASEY AT THE BAT(S): With the flurry of roster moves that overhauled the Bats roster in the second half, a family connection entered the Bats dugout. The Reds signed veteran pitcher Casey Kelly and assigned him to the Bats on 8/7, putting him alongside his father, Bats Manager Pat Kelly. This marks the first time Pat has managed one of his children in regular season play and the two are the first father-son duo in Louisville Bats history. Casey made two starts before another remarkable family moment. On 8/23, Pat had the pleasure of telling Casey he would be returning to the big leagues for the first time since 2018. Casey made his Reds debut on 8/24 at Pittsburgh, throwing three scoreless innings to finish a 10-2 win over the Pirates to earn his first MLB save. After a second appearance for the reds on 8/28, Casey was DFA on 8/29 and sent outright to the Bats on 8/31, finishing the season in Louisville. Casey spent the last six years pitching for the LG Twins of the KBO in Korea and previously pitched in 26 MLB games for the Padres, Braves, and Giants from 2012-18. Pat's oldest son, Chris, also played Minor League Baseball from 2004-11, and was managed by his father during a winter ball stint. The father-son, manager-player duo is rare in professional baseball, as there have been just seven instances of a father managing his son in American and National League history at the Major League level, most recently Bruce Bochy managing his son Brett on the Giants from 2014-15. While Triple-A records are less definitive, a few recent duos are Chris Cron managing his son Kevin on the 2019 Reno Aces and Ron Johnson managing his son Chris with the Norfolk Tides in 2017.
SLAMLESS SEASON: Incredibly, the Bats went the entire 2024 season without hitting a single grand slam. This marks just the second season in Louisville history the team did not hit a grand slam, and the first since 1993. Louisville was the only team in all of Triple-A and one of just eight teams out of the 120 full-season affiliates in Minor League Baseball to not hit a home run with the bases loaded in 2024. Conversely, Bats pitching gave up five grand slams in 2024.
