I think that when you live in an area where the talent in baseball is pretty abundant, you will see the seperation. But that doesnt mean a pitcher will never be in the lineup, so the term pitcher only really means primary position.
My son attended a large 6A school here in south florida. But some of the smaller schools use their pitchers the same way as he was used because of the competition. As implied by me in another topic, dont always assume the norm is the same all over the country.
Some college programs do recruit players that do both. But if you want your son to get better at his position, thats where he needs to focus. D1 programs very rarely have pitchers hit or play a position. There is just not enough time in the day to excel at both.
Yeah, but you live in South Florida where you can't throw a rock without hitting a D1 prospect.
