I wouldn't try to be a mind reader. You have watched your son play for years. These coaches have not.

On a case by case basis it can be good or bad. My son's best friend and teammate has always played short. Mine has always caught and pitched. Mine is pitching a very little bit on varsity and he plays JV to get ABs. Guess where he plays on JV?? SS or 2B. The parents of his best friend and my wife and I find it funny cause we don't see him that way at all even though he has made most of the plays there. It's okay because he will catch all summer.

My point is the coaches don't see your son with the same biases (good or bad) that you or your baseball buddies do. Be thankful he is in the lineup because several aren't. You will drive yourself crazy trying to analyze every move.
