In 2022, Joey Votto will likely pass Tony Perez on the Cincinnati Reds all-time list for singles
Joey Votto enters 2022 tied with Brandon Phillips for ninth place on Cincinnati’s all-time singles list with 1,240. Votto needs just 18 singles, however, to move into the top six on the Reds list, passing Tony Perez (1,252), Johnny Bench (1,254), and Vada Pinson (1,257). Edd Roush starts the top five with 1,325.
Looking past 2022
It will take 400 singles for Votto to push Barry Larkin’s 1,625 on the list and into fourth place. Pete Rose posted 2,490 singles to lead the category.
Can Votto get into the top five? It could potentially happen in 2023. However, after that, it seems that Larkin’s place in fourth is safe.
