Despite a loss to the Blue Jays, the Reds' future looked incredibly bright — and perhaps even faster — when Marte entered the game.
? Left field. Shortstop Encarnacion-Strand? First base and DH. Oh, and shortstop De La Cruz is at shortstop.
Marte was the 14th Reds player to make his big-league debut this season and the 20th rookie to appear in a game for the team this season, the most in the big leagues. With the addition of Marte, the Reds had 11 rookies on their active roster, the most in baseball. Saturday’s starting pitcher? Rookie leftySteer, with 146 career big-league games under his belt, was asked in passing Saturday about another rookie joining the Reds in Marte.
Technically, Steer is still a rookie, having appeared in just 28 games in September last season. But on this Reds team? Well, it’s not a stretch to say he has something like veteran status.Kevin Newman Shortstop, though, is more than a physical position. Outside of the catcher position, shortstop is the most demanding mental position. The shortstop is the leader of the infield. A great athlete can play anywhere, but a shortstop is more than an athlete. The stockpiling of shortstops has led not just to players who can play short, but also ballplayers. That word isn’t thrown around lightly in a clubhouse; it’s a term earned not through longevity or hype, but through respect.
