The Cincinnati Reds added to their bullpen competition for spring training by signing right handed pitcher Josh Staumont on Tuesday.

Staumont, 31, was a 2nd round pick by the Kansas City Royals in 2015. He pitched for the Royals for five seasons (2019-2023), before playing for the Twins last year.

He has a career ERA of 3.97 in 192 2/3 innings and has eight career saves. He averages over a strikeout per inning pitched, but he has issues with walking people making his strikeout to walk ratio 1.92.

Nick Krall mentioned his desire to add more talent via non-roster invites and Staumont provides that. His best season was 2021 when he has a 2.88 ERA in 65 2/3 innings and a WHIP of 1.066.
