As you would think, the likelihood of being a 2-way player in college is higher for those schools with smaller roster sizes. Ask yourself, "Are you a pitcher that hits or a hitter that pitches?" With the three consistently 2-way players on Ripken Fan Jr's team, each can hit the ball over the fence. The closer was the regular first baseman. The DH also plays first and can also pitch. A third base/utility guy is was the number 4 starter. As for the top three pitchers, they are all POs (though on team's twitter site could swing a mean fungo bat
).
Though son was not a "traditional 2-way player", he was recruited at 2-different positions : MI & CF. He would bring both gloves to showcases as he wanted to keep the recruiting net wide. People would ask him which he preferred and he would say either, though he felt he had the instincts of a middle infielder. As it turns out the offer that he accepted was for "an athletic MI who could play the OF." Bossdude, hope things work out for you as well. My guess is that your son will get more attention as a P or position player. I don't think you mentioned, but what position does your son play? Continue to pack both gloves in the bag for the time being.
