Zach Dezenzo's transition to the outfield is a testament to the Houston Astros' evolving roster. Faced with a lack of depth in the outfield, the Astros have allowed Dezenzo, primarily an infielder, to gain experience in left field during winter ball in Puerto Rico. His speed, surprising for his size, has been a focal point, with coaching staff emphasizing drills to enhance his comfort in tracking fly balls.

Training at an indoor facility in Ohio has been crucial for his development, with focused sessions on footwork and ball tracking. Dezenzo's performance in spring training, where he competes for a roster spot amidst an outfield mix that includes stars like José Altuve and Jake Meyers, will be pivotal. His offensive statistics from last season reveal potential, but improvements in plate discipline and swing mechanics are necessary for a successful career.
