Top academy owner said his biggest mistake in high school was never learning to play second base.  In HS, he was the stud shortstop.  In college, everybody was a stud shortstop, about 7 of them.  He had to learn second base on the fly.

   I may have told this story before but it applies to this situation so here goes. The first day of JuCo baseball our HC lined us up and one by one had all 30 players step forward, introduce themselves, and state what position they played. 8 of us said SS. After everyone had spoken our HC pointed at Bobby Merrifield and said that’s my SS.  All you other guys that said SS will have to learn another position.
  Point being, you are way better off if you learn to play multiple positions before you show up on a college campus.
