Reply to "When does a corner infielder typically get looked at?"

Btw if you are a big corner guy, what would be better?

1. Work on your agility and speed to go from very bad to somewhat acceptable?

 

2. Really bulk up and try to go from power hitter to moonshot hitter even if it means you get even slower and stiffer?

 

Ideally you work on both of course but what should you prioritize?

Isn't there a point when you have so much power that the rest doesn't matter (say you regularly hit 450 bombs in bp instead of just clearing the fence by a little? 

 

Of course not many have that potential but if you already have mid 90s  exit like the op states why not try to get to 100?

I mean probably nobody cared about adam dunns glove, legs and arm in college, didn't they?

Chances are a slow runner is going to clog up the bases far more than he hits moon shots. Besides, the ball only has to go over the fence, not to the next county. I’ll take the gap to gap line drive hitter with adequate foot speed every time. So will most coaches. These guys get stronger in college and eventuallly hit homers.
