Colleges recruit middle of the field players and corner field players. A middle infielder who gains experience in the outfield is just enhancing his profile.

My son was an all conference shortstop soph year in high school. Through age fifteen he played wherever the pitcher came from in travel. The 17u coach his post soph year recruited him as a infielder. He saw center as his best position and moved him. His first starting position in college was second after subbing in mostly in the outfield. Soph year he returned to see a high profile transfer at second. The coach told him, “You can hit and play anywhere. I’ll figure out where this fall.”

He was moved to the outfield. By the time he was done playing college ball he played everywhere but pitcher and catcher. His teammates nicknamed him Zo after Ben Zobrist.
