Reply to "2019 prospect getting anxious without solid offers yet"

While the general "rule" is not to have two way players, there are individual exceptions and even coaches who love two way players. On S's college team over the years there were three two way players; two are now playing at the MLB level - one as a SP, the other as a 1B. (The league was in the bottom half of D1.)

The SP was touching mid-90s and was also the starting college SS; the 1B touched 90 and also started at 1B. Both were first team league players; one was POY (and probably the best player over the prior decade).

It's really hard become a master of both ways; you need to practice as if you don't do the other position, so it's a lot more practice. And that is on top of the college social and academic work load.

But, in reality, he won't have the choice; the coach will use him in whatever way gives the team the best shot of winning (including never letting him see the field).
