Nick Senzel’s Report Card at One Month with the Reds

It’s been exactly one month.

After great controversy regarding the timing, the Reds summoned Nick Senzel to the majors on May 3.

With the second overall pick in the 2016 MLB amateur draft, the Reds had chosen Senzel out of the University of Tennessee. He had hit .352/.456/.595 and stolen 25 bases during his junior season in Knoxville. Senzel was widely regarded the best college hitter available. He had played 160 games at the University of Tennessee, mostly at third base.

Historical footnote: The Phillies used the #1 pick overall that year on California high school outfielder Mickey Moniak.
