Josh Bell has played a total of 16 games in the outfield, all in right, in his six-year big league career, all of them back in 2016, in his rookie year with the Pittsburgh Pirates who’d drafted and developed him.
According to his current manager, Washington Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez, we might see the first baseman in the nation’s capital back in the outfield at some point in the future.
It came up when Martinez was asked about the fact that he’s started Bell against some left-handed starters recently, whereas Ryan Zimmerman was getting those starts earlier in the 2021 campaign.
