As usual with my questions I am confused by a thread. Rather than muddle up that thread I thought I would ask my own question. I did look in the search box but there were mostly topics about whether being a PO hurts recruiting potential, not what the norm is.
So, with regard to HS or Summer teams, do your pitchers ONLY pitch?
One poster said they often feel that their best pitcher is their best hitter/fielder as well. This kind of shocked me because where I come from if you are 16/17/18 and title yourself as a pitcher that is ALL you do. Sometimes coaches will allow other positions to pitch an inning or two but if you are considered a pitching prospect you don't hit or field or do anything else. You are a PO (Pitcher Only), and this even allows you a discounted rate on your summer team.
I wondered how it went in everyone else's neck of the woods. Does your pitcher only pitch? How many of your pitchers get to hit? What is the norm?
