The Cincinnati Reds drafted Nick Senzel with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 MLB Draft. Senzel has been one of the most highly-rated prospects to come through the Reds farm system since Jay Bruce. This past winter, Shogo Akiyama became the first Japanese-born player to sign a big-league contract with Cincinnati. Who’s going to start in center field on Opening Day?
The center field position is one that has stumped Reds fans since the end of the 2019 season. Scott Schebler beat out Senzel in spring camp last year and was named the Opening Day starter in center field.
