The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Scott Schebler got off to a relatively slow start to Cactus League play, but the presumptive Opening Day RF for the Cincinnati Reds has been heating up of late. On Sunday against the San Diego Padres, he had a bonkers afternoon, going 2 for 3 with a 3-run dinger, a bunt single to beat the shift, and a pair of runs scored.
There was some initial intrigue into the Cincinnati OF situation when spring first got going given the relatively solid showing from Jesse Winker, but Schebler's done everything in his power to ensure that one of the corner OF jobs on day one will undoubtedly be his, his latest hot streak indicative of the great finish to the 2016 he displayed.
