Dietrich has started spring training hitting .300/.348/.700 in 22 plate appearances, and he hit a home run against lefty Yusei Kikuchi on Thursday night. On Friday he got hit by a pitch -- which is also a feature for him, as he was hit by 21 pitches last season -- and later came around to score.
Dietrich has a good chance of making the team as a utility player despite getting a minor-league deal to sign with the Reds. His problem is that the starters on the Reds are pretty locked in, and while there's a battle in the outfield for playing time, there are five players ahead of him there.
