We've seen some fun interactions between first basemen and runners on base. We saw another on Saturday between Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo and Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett. Rizzo tried to pull off the old ​"hidden ball" trick, but Gennett didn't bite.

​It obviously didn't throw Gennett off his game at all. The second baseman went 2-for-4 with two RBI in the game and is now hitting an impressive .329 this season. His numbers​ to begin his Reds career are actually quite surprising.

Scooter Gennett and Joe Morgan, Comparison Thru 183 Games with the Reds:

Gennett Morgan

BA .303 .300

OPS .878 .882

HR 34 21

Age 28 29

​​Not to say he's going to be a Hall of Famer or anything, but it's still noteworthy.





A good effort by Rizzo, but a savvy response from Gennett.
