Cincinnati Reds’ shortstop Zack Cozart is ready for his third straight first half breakout

In 2015 Cozart played 53 games before an injury to his knee ended his season. He already had 9 home runs and 28 RBIs before the injury. Cozart appeared well on his way to an All-Star appearance in his own ballpark, but the injury ended his season.

In 2016 Cozart had his best career ever. He was healthy in the first half of the season. He missed half of the games after the All-Star Game due to injuries. Cozart was deserving of playing in the All-Star Game as well.

In the first half of 2016 Cozart hit 13 home runs and had 38 RBIs while batting out of the top two spots in the order.
