Zack Cozart is a name that Reds fans have known for year, but the rest of the country is starting to be clued in. In his first full season with the Reds Cozart has taken on the roll as lead off hitter, and has done so pretty well as of late. He is batting .264 with a .308 OBP (which aren’t great, but he is starting to get more comfortable in the 1 hole). Defensively he has joined Brandon Phillips to form a solid front up the middle, with Cozart helping turn 27 double plays thus far. It will be exciting to see Cozart grow into the SS of the future in Cincinnati, and he is off to a pretty good start.
