My son never hit in showcases unless they asked him to which was over 50% of the time. He rarely ever did anything in the field but would hit after he pitched. Mine was recruited as a 2 way but has been told point blank that he must do the extra work on his own to find a spot in the lineup as a hitter. He has done it so far this summer working 2 hours a day on hitting but we will see when fall ball starts up in a few weeks. The PC and HC have both had friday starters that hit so it is not out of the ordinary.
