Nick Senzel Expected To Be Promoted Friday
6 years agoAll indications are that the Cincinnati Reds will call up third baseman/outfielder Nick Senzel, their top prospect and No. 5 overall per MLB Pipeline, ahead of the Friday series opener against the Giants. The 23-year-old sprained his ankle late in spring training, otherwise he probably would've already been up in the majors. He's expected to be the team's everyday center fielder when he arrives, pushing Scott Schebler into a bench role. Senzel is hitting .257/.316/.371 with a homer and two RBI in eight games at Triple-A Louisville. He has been plagued by injuries in the minors, but the youngster offers an intriguing blend of speed, power and the ability to hit for average. He needs to be owned everywhere.
