Reds relief pitcher Brent Suter joined MLB Network Radio last week. A funny moment broke out when Suter was told he's the "best hugger in Major League Baseball.

"It's one of those things, I really try to be the best teammate I can be and pour myself into relationships with guys," Suter said with a laugh. "Seeing guys I haven't seen in a while, even though they're playing for the other team, it's like, come here, big guy. Let's bring it in. I love the hugs. I love the dap ups. I try to be a teammate guy and it's just a good way of showing love to my guys."

The Reds re-signed Suter in November.

Suter pitched in 47 games for the Reds in 2024 with an ERA of 3.15. He struck out 50 batters of 65 1/3 innings.
