Monday’s Spring Training game was about as close to a potential regular season lineup as we’ve seen early on, but it came with an interesting wrinkle in it: Bryan Reynolds was in left field.
Reynolds has played left field before. Although he only did it once in 2022, he’s started there 122 times since making the majors.
So, it’s nothing really new for him, but of course, since really taking over as the team’s best player, he’s been the primary center fielder.
Late in the 2022 season, he slid over to left field to allow Ji-Hwan Bae to play center field, a position the latter had been working into his repertoire for the last year plus.
