I don't remember who I was talking about but it was a young one at around the GCL level.<br /><br />The coach told me that thy really don't spend much time on trying to figure out the best position for him until around two years down the road. He said high school kids at this level have so much to learn about the game, especially hitting, that the Mets just plant them where they played last and begin the process of breaking them down and teaching them 'the game'.<br /><br />I also remember the standard speed all the players get when they get to K-Port..."welcome... you will now begin to learn the game of... baseball".Mack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-14443535870471358822015-01-01T17:30:10.844-05:002015-01-01T17:30:10.844-05:00I remember reading that he may need to move to 1b ...I remember reading that he may need to move to 1b so I don't think he could handle 2b.
