Son was recruited by a couple schools as a MIF and a couple as a P. He went to a school that wanted him as a pitcher but said "you'll have every opportunity to earn a spot in the field". Freshman year...he was a starter so they really didn't want him to hit. He got 5 or 6 AB's as a DH late in blowouts. Sophomore year he said he didn't want to bad if he was only getting a few AB's. Junior year he was the closer and did get 75 or so AB's as a DH. Senior year an arm issue had basically ended his pitching career. He played quite a bit at 1B and DH. Second on the team in avg....lead in HR's and RBI's. Looking back on it, I think he'd have had a better college career as an offensive player....but who knows
