J.D. Martinez, Mookie Betts, Francisco Lindor and Nolan Arenado are four of the five players with 70-plus extra-base hits in each of the past three seasons. The fifth is the newest addition to the Cincinnati Reds, outfielder Nick Castellanos. That’s the type of production the Reds have added to their lineup. Now the question becomes, where does he hit in the Cincinnati batting order?
In addition to Castellanos, the free agent signings earlier this offseason of second baseman Mike Moustakas and outfielder Shogo Akiyama will provide the Reds with a drastically different lineup than the one that finished 12th in the National League last season with 701 runs scored.
