2025 Preseason

That’s the ideology defensively. The catcher and center fielder are going to be very good defensively. 2B is middle of the road. I think we have athleticism on the mound so probably can field the position.

Coincidentally it’s everywhere other than up the middle, plus SS.. which could be fine if they play DeGoti.
I'd say shortstop is one of the positions that probably should be worried about much less than it actually is. Not to be rude, but what do you see in Ogden that limits him so badly at shortstop?

Beyond the feedback I have got from a former player that I played with that has been there (I haven’t been to a practice myself)… Saw him play it in the Coastal Plains league in the summer of 2023. SS and 2B - looked rough at both. I think he fielded under .800 that summer.

He’s not a middle infielder. He’s an average defensive 3B. You can’t take an average 3B and assume they’re even average at SS.
