The Reds won the most games in MLB in 1953 with 95. They were just good enough to slip by the Brooklyn Dodgers (who won 85) in seven in the NLCS, but fell to the Detroit Tigers in seven in the World Series.

41 year old 1B Harmon Killebrew was an absolute stud for the Reds as he went .308/.425/.615/1.040 with 119 R, 41 HR, 111 RBI, and 111 BB and a 199 OPS+, with a 197 wRC+. SS Clarence Cross put up a .287/.377/.323/.700 line with 83 SB, and 90 R and a 105 OPS+ and a 113 wRC+. CF Cesar Cedeno had a great year with a .314/.363/.537/.901 line along with 21 HR, 29 SB, 86 RBI, 93 R and a 159 OPS+, and a 156 wRC+. RF Ben Paschal was solid as well with a .300/.345/.478/.823, which was good for a 137 OPS+ and a 140 wRC+.

RHSP Mark Gubicza paced the pitchers with a 17-15, 3.21 ERA, 3.43 FIP season. LHSP Carl Fischer went 14-6, 3.18 ERA, 3.24 FIP season.
