Aquino just had one good year in the minors at the age of 25, which was his 9th year in the Reds minor league system, got a call up and had that HR streak the same year. Outside of that 1 year, he's been pretty bad in both of the minors and majors over his other 11 years of professional baseball.

He hit .248/.310/.455 in 10 seasons in the minors and struck out ~25% of the time.

Senzel is just made of glass. Not much you can do about that coaching-wise.
