The 2019 season found fans excited for an experimental new beginning in center field. After Scott Schebler failed to live up to the lofty expectations he’d set after a strong spring training, Nick Senzel took over in center field for the Cincinnati Reds in May of last year. While Senzel was a serviceable centerfielder in 2019, one has to ask if he’d be better suited back on the dirt.
For years, Reds Country was spoiled with the defensive highlights and excitement provided by former centerfielder Billy Hamilton, who wowed fans with his range and speed while running down fly balls.
