Seasons

The 2023 Cincinnati Reds season was the 154th season for the franchise in Major League Baseball, and their 21st at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.

With a win over the Cleveland Guardians on August 16, the Reds improved on their 62–100 record from the 2022 season.

From June 10 to June 23, the Reds had a 12 game winning streak, their third best in franchise history, and second best of the season, only behind the Tampa Bay Rays 13 game winning streak.

Despite the winning streak during the season, the Reds were eliminated from post season contention after a September 30 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.

Off-season

Rule changes

Pursuant to the CBA, new rule changes are in place for the 2023 season:

• limits on pickoff attempts per plate appearance;
• limits on defensive shifts requiring two infielders to be on either side of second and be within the boundary of the infield; and
• larger bases (increased to 18-inch squares);
