Being the seventh best at being second most important isn’t exactly a glamorous way to describe someone, I suppose. In Zack Cozart’s case, it’s actually a rather apt way of summing up what he’s done while a member of the Cincinnati Reds, as it serves as high praise while also keeping him almost completely inconspicuous.
With 11.6 career bWAR to his name, Cozart ranks as the seventh most valuable second round pick in team history. If he post’s another ~2 bWAR season in 2017 - something he’s done in each of the last three years, and four of the last five - he’ll jump Milt Wilcox to be the sixth most valuable second round pick in team history.
