Would Scott Kingery be more valuable in center field?

Everyone who has been following Scott Kingery since he started making noise as a highly touted prospect has been clamoring for him to become the everyday second baseman. It is a position he excelled at in the minors, where he showed great range and athleticism, and it seemed like only a matter of time before he would land the everyday job in Philadelphia.

However, in his rookie season, he didn’t play much second, just four games. Cesar Hernandez was the incumbent in 2018 and ‘19 as well, and Kingery played a scant 10 games at his natural position last season as a result.
