Cincinnati Reds' top prospect Nick Senzel talks about his debut Tuesday with Triple-A Louisville. Fletcher Page, fpage@enquirer..com
A team that entered the season with high expectations sat in last place with a slumping offense.
Searching for a way to ignite the lineup, that team called up its top prospect: a young outfielder known for his hitting and athleticism. More playing time in the outfield was available because Matt Kemp was on the injured list.
Sound familiar?
The Los Angeles Dodgers called up Yasiel Puig in June 2013 and they later had a historic stretch when they won 42 of 50 games.
