One of the cool things about being a long-time baseball writer (I prefer that to an old baseball writer) is you see a lot of careers from beginning to end.
Nick Senzel’s debut brought this to mind.
But I suspect he’ll have a good, long career. Friday night he put together some impressive plate appearances. He seems to project as a high on-base percentage guy with gap power. Mix in his speed and athleticism and that’s a recipe for a successful career.
But you never know. The Reds have been my beat since 1997, so I’ve seen a lot of anticipated debuts.
