Reply to "Recruiting plan for high academic D3"

Obviosly players are going to have primary positions. But, hit and you play somewhere.

I followed Vanderbilt closely when two friends/former teammates sons played there. A school like Vanderbilt is going to recruit some of the nest catchers in the country.

When my friend’s son was a freshman the right fielder was moved to catcher. He was eventually drafted as a catcher. One catcher played first, another played left field and another DH’ed. when the third baseman got injured another catcher played third.

It’s unusual a team would recruit four top catchers. But all four could pound the ball. It’s what playing in college is all about. It applies at every level.

Add: One of my friends sons was one of the catchers. He was all world in high school and on his 17u team. He was a top fifty prospect. He thought he would start freshman year. He was the fourth catcher who played third when the third baseman got injured. He started at various positions soph year. He split catching and DH the next two years. He was drafted.
