Love it! Keep hitting both ways until someone (like college level) tells him not to.
The coach will put him where he needs him.

Thanks. He's been very successful hitting this way, but it's been a total commitment.

Interesting to hear all of the different viewpoints. I think high school is the first point where he feels like he is being repeatedly asked to "declare" a position...usually, in the past, he just played where the coach and team needed him (no need to "claim" a position), although catching definitely seems to require a special focus. He focused on primarily catching for years, but it does seem a bit of a waste of speed. The positions he was physically suited for just 2 years ago (as a generally smaller and usually younger player on the team), though, are no longer necessarily the positions he is suited for now (relatively taller and quite a bit stronger), so that has been a bit of a surprise.
