Nick Senzel of the Reds Is the New King of Catcher Interference

Welcome to The Opener, where every weekday morning during the regular season you’ll get a fresh, topical story to start your day from one of SI.com’s MLB writers.

The catcher interference leaderboard offers two details of note.

First, most teams have yet to see a player reach base on catcher interference this year: This part is unremarkable, as it’s never been a terribly common play, and it’s not historically unusual for a club to go an entire season without experiencing it once. And second, “most teams” here is not a grouping that includes the Reds, because the Reds have Nick Senzel.
