For Reds fans, it’s relatively easy to answer the question: “Who is the best defensive player on the team?” Most would say Billy Hamilton, Zack Cozart, or even Joey Votto (he is the only Gold Glove winner on the team, after all). But there’s one player who has been playing some very underrated defense this season, and he plays one of the more difficult positions in baseball.
Eugenio Suarez was brought up as a shortstop in the Detroit Tigers organization, and because he played 841.1 innings at short for the Reds in 2015 after Zack Cozart’s knee injury, many fans thought it would be a tough transition for him to move to third base.
