Definitely not easy. There are no easy positions, but most feel 1B is the easiEST. But let's be fair and holistic. Take a 1B and have him play OF. What's that look like? He may not drop 4 balls, but it's more likely he simply didn't get to them in time to even have an opportunity to drop them.

Lol. My 2025 LHP is such an awkward position player. When not pitching they've stuck him at 1B because he's big and can hit a little. Honestly though... a below avg fielder. I had to beg the coach to put him in OF a bit this season just bc I know only having 1b skills is a quick road to PO-ville. Amazingly in RF he made play after play. Diving catches. Sliding shoelace grabs. We were like "who is this guy". So you never know. My boys surprise and amaze me!
