For 28-year-old Nick Senzel, who moved between the infield and outfield for the Cincinnati Reds in the first five seasons of his major league career, playing predominantly center field, an opportunity to return to his original spot at third base was a major factor in his decision to sign a 1-year/$2M free agent deal with the Washington Nationals this week.
Drafted by the Reds as a third baseman out of the University of Tennessee with the No. 2 overall pick in 2016, Senzel played the majority of his games at third base last year for the first time in the majors.
