Zach Vincej is the next great defensive shortstop in the Cincinnati Reds’ organization. He has been compared to Zack Cozart since he joined the Reds’ organization. Vincej has even won a minor league gold glove award for his play.
In 2016 Vincej was the everyday shortstop for the Double-A Pensacola Blue Wahoos. His teammates, Brandon Dixon and Chad Wallach, were the top prospects on the team because of their offensive upside. That assessment fell apart when Vincej exploded offensively during the Arizona Fall League season.
After making the all-AFL team as the DH Vincej earned another honor.
