The '''1923 [[Cincinnati Reds]] season''' was a season in American [[baseball]]. The team finished second in the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] with a record of 91–63, 4½ games behind the [[1923 New York Giants season|New York Giants]].
==
Following a successful 1922 season, in which the Reds finished in second place in the National League with an 86-68 record, seven games behind the pennant winning [[New York Giants (baseball)|New York Giants]], the Reds had a very quiet off-season.
The team did not make any major transactions, as Cincinnati would return in the 1923 season with the same lineup, hoping to contend for the National League pennant.
== Regular season ==
Cincinnati had a very disappointing start to the season, as by [[Memorial Day]] after a 5-4 extra innings loss to the [[St. Louis Cardinals]], the team had a 14-20 record, sitting in sixth place in the National League, 12.5 games behind the first place [[New York Giants (baseball)|New York Giants]].
The Reds did turn their season around, posting a record of 18-3 in their next 21 games, bringing them to an overall record of 32-23, and into second place, four games behind the [[New York Giants (baseball)|New York Giants]]. Cincinnati would continue to stay red hot, eventually cutting the Giants lead down to two games, as following an 11-4 win over the [[Brooklyn Robins]] on July 20, the Reds had a 52-31 record.
In early August, the Reds were swept in a five-game series against the Giants, dropping to third place, eight games behind New York, as their record dropped to 61-43. The club did rebound, and by the beginning of September, Cincinnati once again cut the Giants lead down to a slim three games.
The club though could not catch the Giants, and finished the 1923 season with a very solid 91-63 record, finishing in second place for the second consecutive season, four and a half games behind New York. Their 91 wins was the highest total for the Reds since winning 96 games in 1919, and the club set a team record for highest attendance in a season, drawing 575,063 fans.
Outfielder [[Edd Roush]] had another superb season for Cincinnati, batting .351 with six home runs and 88 RBI in 138 games. His 41 doubles led the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] in that category. Outfielder [[Pat Duncan (baseball)|Pat Duncan]] hit .327 with seven home runs and 83 RBI in 147 games, while catcher [[Bubbles Hargrave]] hit .333 with 10 home runs and 78 RBI in 118 games.
Pitcher [[Dolf Luque]] emerged as the staff ace, as he finished the year leading the National League with 27 wins, a 1.93 ERA and six shutouts. Luque also pitched 322 innings, striking out 151 batters in 41 games. [[Eppa Rixey]] had another very solid season, going 20-15 with a 2.80 ERA in 42 games, pitching 309 innings. [[Pete Donohue]] was the Reds third 20-game winner, as he finished the season 21-15 with a 3.38 ERA in 42 games.
