Cincinnati Reds lost reserve oufielder Scott Selsky to the Boston Red Sox via the waiver wire

For a team that has had trouble consistently getting on base, letting Selsky go doesn’t make much sense for the Cincinnati Reds. As he came up through the minors, Selsky regularly had an OBP above .350. His slugging on the other hand has been slightly subpar for a corner outfielder.

Defensively, Selsky projects as a left fielder. He can cover right or center, but those are not his natural position. He played first base in the minors, but likely is only an occasional back-up there as well.

In 2016 during his MLB debut, Selsky played in 24 games hitting 2 home runs and 2 doubles.
