Cincinnati Reds’ top prospect Nick Senzel wants to see the big league in 2017, despite the front office

Nick Senzel wants to play for the Cincinnati Reds this year after watching others quickly ascend from a top draft pick to play at the MLB level. In 2016, the top pick from the 2015 draft, Dansby Swanson, made his MLB debut with the Atlanta Braves after being the cornerstone of a major off-season trade. The Braves had planned to wait an entire season to debut Swanson, but Swanson’s good play combined with lack of shortstop depth forced the Braves’ hand.

Another player that quickly rode up through the minors was Chicago Cub prospect Kyle Schwarber.
