DD is sort of in the Bizzaro World version of OP. She’s a pitcher, and considers OF her secondary position. But she’s a really good infielder: quick to the ball, handles hops well, strong arm and makes good decisions.
TB last year (14U) she played every inning in CF that she wasn’t pitching. The regular SS was a horror show, and parents were upset that the coach didn’t put DD there at all. In MS ball, DD played every inning at SS that she wasn’t in the circle.
First game of HS this year, she played the whole game at 3B. Bottom line: embrace the opportunity to get reps all over the field. As a pitcher, other spots will always be part-time so the broader her skill set the more valuable she is.
