On Noelvi Marte and the Reds search for outfield help
After over 300 games as a professional (and over 2600 career innings spent in the field), Noelvi Marte started a game as an outfielder on Sunday.
He did just fine, albeit in incredibly limited action out there in New York. He fielded the one grounder hit his way that made it through the infield, and he even got to show off his big arm on a throw back to the dirt. That’s surely what the Cincinnati Reds have in mind for him for the time being - to hide him out there a bit, let him get his feet wet, and put him in a position to slowly show them whether corner outfield is something that’s in his repertoire.
It’s a story that’s similar to that of another Cincinnati Reds infielder-outfielder.
