Blandino will primarily play second base this season in the Reds' farm system.

The Reds drafted him to play shortstop, and he spent most of his time at Stanford at third base, though Blandino did play 12 games at second base last season. "I worked at second base in practice so it wasn't a completely foreign position to me," Blandino said. "In the Arizona Fall League, I got the opportunity to play primarily at second base and put a lot of work in there. I think being able to show versatility on defense is a huge asset. As long as you can produce offensively, being able to go out there and find a spot anywhere in the infield is important to help your team."
