Nick Senzel’s name came up repeatedly ahead of last summer’s MLB Draft as a possible 1st overall selection, and his initial foray into minor league ball after being selected 2nd by the Cincinnati Reds did nothing to diminish that reputation. After a 10 game refresher course with the Billings Mustangs, the 21 year old Senzel joined the Class A Dayton Dragons and proceeded to knock the cover off the ball, hitting .329/.415/.567 in 251 PA and solidifying him as the potential star of the system.
January means it’s officially prospect ranking season, and Senzel has repeatedly been named the top prospect in the Cincinnati system, for good reason.
