So, no pitchers who hated hitting and fielding? For sure I've known some who were bad at it (really slow, couldn't hit, couldn't field...), but good at pitching.

I'm not saying anything about what a high-school (or travel, or college) coach should do, I just wondered about how players feel about it. Obviously the best players will play, often in HS the same player is the best 2-ways.

Also, obviously it has to be "fun" to some extent, otherwise how hard will he work, and thus how far will he go? Have you known any 2-ways who hated pitching? That seems unlikely.

(and, we could really detour this thread if we asked about AL vs NL and how professional pitchers feel!)
