The Cincinnati Reds have played 32 games so far in the 2019 season, and Scott Schebler has appeared in 30 of them. To date, he sports an OPS+ of just 27. None of these numbers really have anything to do with one another, other than to simply point out that the season is almost 1/5th finished and Schebler has swung a completely wet noodle for the duration of that time.
Yesterday’s call-up of top prospect Nick Senzel to take over the everyday CF spot sure had the writing on the wall for Schebler’s current stint with the Reds, and today the club made his option back to AAA official.
