Reply to "Coach wants D3 position player to pitch"

learning posted:

My son is going into his senior year at a D3 school and has had a good career as a starter and playing multiple positions over the years.  He has a great arm and coach has had him try pitching this fall which has gone well.  He’s always pitched here and there in high school and on summer teams but has never focused on it, never taken lessons etc. -   he thinks the coach may have him close some games here and there.  He thinks some of the other pitchers probably aren’t too happy about it.  Any suggestions on how to help him handle some of the potential issues that could come up with players being frustrated that someone who isn’t really a pitcher may get to pitch ahead of them? I hate for it to cause conflicts but it’s the coach’s call ultimately. 

I am sure there are pitchers who aren't happy about it but they have all been around long enough that it shouldn't be any issues between players.
