Let’s get one thing straight - Jesse Winker’s defense is far from stellar, and that’s something the eye-test confirms. However, he’s far from a butcher out there, and far from a lead pipe that’s chained to a sunken toilet despite the fact that Baseball Reference already has him rated as a worse defender than if the Reds just put a scarecrow in the OF.
Still, the young Cincinnati Reds outfielder can hit, and hit well, and is on one of those streaks that makes you salivate about how he’ll evolve as he continues to get experience.
