13U Lefty — should he still be messing with positions outside of P, 1B and OF?
Hi all — my lefty son (hits and fields) plays a ton of baseball, both rec and club. He grew up playing every position (partial to 2B) but around 11U started just putting him at P, 1B and OF. The other day, his club coach put him at 2B and we were surprised. We know it’s super valuable to get kids playing in every spot (and this is what his coach mentioned) and he’s always going to be happy to do what the coach wants — but it got me thinking. Am I missing some shift in the game here? There are no lefties playing middle infield at the high school level, right? We don’t plan to bring anything up, we just were curious and figured this would be a fun question to the group.
