Cincinnati Reds: Who will be the leadoff hitter in 2019?

The Cincinnati Reds acquired a few new faces this offseason, particularly the potent bats of Yasiel Puig and Matt Kemp. While these two could put up huge numbers in Great American Ball Park, neither of them are your prototypical leadoff hitter, nor will they be tasked with manning the leadoff spot. So, who will be the leadoff hitter when the season starts on March 28th?

From the leadoff role you would like to have a player with a higher on-base percentage who can serve as the table-setter for the entire lineup. In my opinion, there are 4 candidates, given their skills and experience in the role, who could be the first man to the plate for this new, exciting Cincinnati Reds lineup.
