Votto has lived in the U.S. since the Reds drafted him out of high school in the second round of the 2002 MLB draft. When he spoke to WCPO in January, Votto noted he has spent “most of (his) life” in Cincinnati.
Though he’s been in the league for 15 years, it’s only in recent years Votto has shown more of his personality. He shined in an in-game interview during the Reds-Braves season opener, giving the ESPN crew some play-by-play while talking golf and questioning whether he should get a gold or diamond tooth.
The 38-year-old is batting .119 to start the season.
