Billy Hamilton has been a constant frustration for the Cincinnati Reds and their fans. His defensive ability in the outfield is amazing. His speed on the basepaths is unmatched. But, his ability to get on base consistently has been a huge question mark since his arrival in Cincinnati. Has Hamilton done enough of late to be the Reds’ leadoff hitter?
Scott Schebler, when he’s in the starting lineup, has been hitting leadoff. Schebler is not the prototypical leadoff that most organizations look for, but his .284 average and .356 on-base percentage are reason enough for him to stay put, right?
