Adam Duvall came to the Reds as the second piece of the Mike Leake trade at the 2015 mid-season deadline. Duvall had played 3B and 1B in the San Francisco Giants organization with a one-tool reputation of hitting with power. The Giants had given Duvall only 77 major league plate appearances by the middle of his age-26 season.
Upon his arrival to the Reds organization, the front office assigned Duvall to play left field for his hometown Louisville Bats. That’s also the position Duvall manned during his September call-up with the Reds.
