Switching from CF to 3B

maverickbaseballMember

I have always been a center fielder since 6th grade but now (my Junior year in High School) I am being moved up to varsity. We already have a heavily-recruited center-fielder and coach has been trying to get my used to playing third ever since he first saw me play my sophomore year (there was a coaching change after my freshman year). I have trouble getting a good jump on the ball in left and i dont have a strong enough arm to play right so i'm stuck with 3b for the rest of high school... since i havent played the position since little league, what are some tips or natural abilities that every 3b should have? I have been working on shortening my throwing motion when throwing to second but my longer throwing motion seems to be more accurate when throwing to first... should i try to keep it short going to first as well? i've also been slowly falling into a 3/4 delivery, is that common/uncommon for an infielder?

anything would be appreciated.
