The Cincinnati Reds gave Scott Schebler the starting right field job this spring and haven’t looked back. His play has been great at times and mediocre at other times. His home run total, though, is impressive for a line drive hitter.
Schebler has been battling teammate and perennial MVP candidate Joey Votto for the National League lead in home runs all season long. Until recently he was neck and neck with Giancarlo Stanton of the Miami Marlins for the NL lead among right fielders as well. Votto has fallen to third in the NL, while Schebler is currently fourth among NL right fielders.
