will he have to pick one or the other

It might be that HE may never have the option to chose. Depending on the organization and the coaching styles, players may not be allowed to play where they want. Many coaches play their players where they think they can best help the team. I can remember a conversation I had with my son the catcher. He called home at the beginning of conference play during his sophomore year of college and told me the coach had asked (told) him to pitch (after being recruited as a catcher and had been the starting catcher as a freshman). I asked him to "remind" the coach he was signed as a catcher and his reply was "I can't do that". Needless to say he pitched and DH'ed his sophmore year. Thankfully he was allowed to return to catching his junior year because of a coaching change. He did well catching during his junior year and was drafted as a catcher and is currently playing third base.
