Only Team with National Title, Final Four, and 5 World Series Wins This Year
Unmatched All-Sport Domination at Great American Ballpark
CINCINNATI, OH – In a year where the sports world has seen its fair share of underdogs and upsets, one team has stood tall above them all: the Cincinnati Reds. On Friday, the Reds were officially recognized as the nation’s top athletic program of 2025 — an honor rooted not just in baseball success, but in an unprecedented all-sport sweep that has captivated fans nationwide.
Anchored by their fifth World Series title — and their third in just five years — the Reds have redefined what it means to be a powerhouse. But it didn’t stop with the MLB. The club’s developmental academy clinched a national collegiate championship, and their affiliated esports team made a surprise Final Four run, turning Great American Ballpark into a year-round center of competitive excellence.
“It’s surreal,” said Reds president Nick Krall, standing on the field where champagne had barely dried. “To win a World Series is special. But to see the culture of winning extend to every corner of this organization? That’s legacy stuff.”
The numbers speak for themselves: over 110 wins in the regular season, a dominant postseason run, and franchise records shattered across every statistical category. But what truly set the Reds apart this year was their commitment to community and cohesion. Players across all levels regularly trained together, mentored youth in Cincinnati, and even cross-participated in events that blurred the lines between sports.
“You could feel the momentum,” said shortstop Elly De La Cruz. “Every game, every practice — it felt like we were part of something bigger than baseball.”
From sold-out crowds at Great American Ballpark to watch parties for the Reds’ esports team, Cincinnati lived and breathed this magical season. And now, with the crown of the nation’s top athletic program, the Reds have done more than win titles — they’ve built a dynasty.
And 2025 may just be the beginning.
