Scooter Gennett: the man, the myth, the legend. Flash in the pan or bonafide MLB All-Star? By now it shouldn’t even be a question if Scooter Gennett is a quality MLB player or not. He’s backed up a really good 2017 with an arguably better 2018. He leads the NL in average and is 2nd among qualified NL second baseman in OBP, slugging, OPS, WAR, and wRC+. Simply put, Scooter Gennett has been the 2nd best offensive second baseman in the National League this season.
People have their reservations about Scooter Gennett and how he fits in with the Reds’ future because of his age, his position flexibility, and how he performed in his first four years in the league compared to his last two.
