Pittsburgh Pirates star Oneil Cruz is beginning the season as a center fielder for the first time.
The 26-year-old started at shortstop last year, but after defensive struggles at the position, the Pirates opted to move him to center field instead.
Bleacher Report writer Zachary D. Rymer believes Cruz has staying power in center field.
Why Is This Happening?
OK, fine. You got me. This is not a new transition, as the Pirates first moved Oneil Cruz from shortstop to center field last fall.
Cruz, 26, didn’t give the Bucs much choice by way of 24 errors in 958.
