Agreed. Had a kid (now a Jr. OF at Ole Miss) a few yrs back who fit the body mold of a HS first baseman. Played DE in FB, below avg. 60, but the kid could flat out hit. Started the season with him at 1B; after 10 games, he had double digit errors, several of which determined the outcome of games. He then became a full time DH and put up great numbers. He signed w/ a top JUCO, dropped 30 lbs (FB weight), moved to OF, turned in multiple sub 6.6 60's and was a late round draft selection. Just goes to show what can happen when body type changes and a kid has tools
