Okay, okay, it was just one game. But, Cincinnati Reds fans haven’t been as excited for a player’s major league debut since Jay Bruce stepped onto the scene back in 2008. While it’s unfair to judge Nick Senzel on just one game, we’re here to do just that. What grade does the Reds’ rookie deserve for his performance during last night’s game?
Nick Senzel was drafted with the second overall pick in the 2016 MLB Draft and his arrival in Cincinnati has been eagerly anticipated for about a year. An avalanche of quirky injuries kept Senzel from making his big league debut last season and concern over service time and learning a new position kept him off the Opening Day roster to start the 2019 season.
