Reply to "When did the 2 way dream end?????"

Going into college Soph year at D2, 2-way is still in play for mine. Was recruited as a position player, told he wasn't quite ready to hit in fall, but could help the team on the mound. Pitched a limited number of innings out of the pen, not great but not bad. He was still taking regular BP, getting his hacks in practice. At the end of the season, he DH'd the last 4 games and hit above .500, so much for not being ready to hit I guess. Had a really good summer both on the mound and at the plate. He's been told he'll be a mid-week guy on the mound and in the lineup on the weekend this year, at least initially. He will have to perform at both to stay there. I don't know when it will go one way or another, but he's still in play for both. 

 

I don't think you go one way or another until your college coach tells you that's what you are.

 

It is extra work to do both, and imperative that the coaches are all on the same page, which by all indications his have been and are.
