Nick Lodolo Reveals He Got Admonishing Text from His Mom Fans Can’t Stop Laughing
July 24, 2025 | Cincinnati, OH — Cincinnati Reds pitcher Nick Lodolo may have just delivered one of his best performances of the season, but it turns out he still has someone keeping him humble — his mom.
Following his lights-out outing that had fans and analysts raving, Lodolo revealed during a postgame interview that he received a not-so-subtle text from his mom — and it had fans bursting into laughter.
“She texted me after the game and said, ‘Nice win, but do you have to fidget with your glove that much on the mound?’” Lodolo said, laughing. “I just shook my head — she always finds something.”
The hilarious moment quickly spread across social media, with Reds fans flooding the comments with laughing emojis and wholesome responses. Some even started jokingly calling Lodolo’s mom the team’s new pitching coach.
“Forget the scouts. Mama Lodolo is watching every pitch,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Another added: “You strike out 10, walk no one, and still catch heat from mom. That’s greatness.”
Despite the lighthearted teasing, Lodolo made it clear that his mother’s feedback means everything to him.
“She’s my biggest supporter and my toughest critic — always has been. I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” he said with a smile.
The moment gave Reds fans yet another reason to love the young lefty — not just for his talent, but for his authenticity and charm. In the heat of a playoff chase, a little motherly honesty and humor was exactly the kind of feel-good story Reds Country needed.
