Forget for a moment the term “everyday player” or that “platoon” is a dirty word. Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell has the possibility of having one of the most productive left fields in the league from an offensive standpoint next year. It just so happens the position will be filled by two players.
Reds left fielders are slashing .277/.354./.458 with 24 homers thus far in the 2019 campaign. The collective .354 OBP ranks 4th in National League among team production from the left field position. The 2019 season has seen Phillip Ervin, Jesse Winker, Matt Kemp, Josh VanMeter, Derek Dietrich, José Peraza and even Michael Lorenzen play left field for the Reds.
