The Reds finished in fourth place in the National League with a record of 89–73, eight games behind the NL and World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. The Reds were managed by Dick Sisler and played their home games at Crosley Field.
The Reds led the major leagues in most offensive categories. They recorded the most runs scored (825), hits (1,544), doubles (268), triples (61), RBI (776), batting average (.273), on-base percentage (.339) and slugging percentage (.439). They were second in home runs in the majors with 183, behind the Milwaukee Braves.
Sisler had served as acting manager during the final quarter of the previous season, and was formally promoted two weeks later.
