Like I said, I know SS can play 3B, there is still an adjustment period. Especially when a freshman is playing with older kids for the first time; balls are hit harder and you're a lot closer. He'll be fine but he's going to have to get it out of his system for now. Definitely will be playing more of it this summer.
Not looking to be right here or make excuses for why he's not starting. Just wanted to see if any others parents had been in a similar situation or what other coaches would advise.
They open up late next week. After about 3 weeks of scrimmaging the starting SS has half as many hits in double the ABs from what I'm told. So we'll see what happens if he continues his slow start. Going to sound selfish but I'm hoping he stinks it up.
