The curious case of José Peraza. Who exactly is he? Is Peraza the player who hit .324 upon joining the Cincinnati Reds in 2016 and collected 182 hits last year? Or is he the player who has lost his starting position in both the 2017 and 2019 seasons?
To say José Peraza has had a disappointing start to the 2019 season is a gross understatement. Heading into the last week of Spring Training, it appeared Peraza was ready to open the season as the Reds starting shortstop where he made 152 starts last season.
However, that all came to a screeching halt once Scooter Gennett suffered a groin injury just days before the season opener.
