Nick Senzel Working At Second Base And Shortstop
7 years agoCincinnati Reds third base prospect Nick Senzel arrived to the team's spring complex about a month early, and their No. 1 ranked prospect and No. 7 prospect in all of baseball has been working diligently at second base and shortstop. The 22-year-old has worked exclusively at third base since he was selected second overall in 2016, but he's been getting work in the middle infield with third base currently blocked by Eugenio Suarez. Senzel hit .321/.391/.514 with 14 long balls and 65 RBI in 119 games with Single-A Advanced Daytona and Double-A Pensacola last year, and he's expected to begin the 2018 season with Triple-A Louisville. With Zack Cozart going to the Angels in free agency, Senzel's best avenue to immediate playing time in the big leagues will be up the middle, and his power will make him a high-upside option at those positions if he sticks there. Cozart is an intriguing pick in dynasty/keeper leagues this spring.
