Cincinnati Reds look to Eugenio Suarez and Ryan Raburn to cover third base
The Cincinnati Reds look to Eugenio Suarez to own the third base position again in 2017.
Eugenio Suarez played 159 games for the Cincinnati Reds in 2016. It was his first year as a full-time starter and his first year as a third baseman. Now the Reds are looking to for Suarez to do it again.
He was fourth on the team with 21 home runs. He was also fifth in doubles and fourth in RBIs. Suarez quickly developed into a top of the order hitter.
His defense was merely average in 2016 and his base running wasn’t much better. Overall, however, he had a great season last year. Suarez was only 24 years old and he played like he had been in the big leagues for years.
