have been playing 2nd base while my other team mate is playing catcher and I
am very good at 2nd too because i have a very strong arm now what should i
play to be drafted out of highschool into the mlb ( if i do get drafted) but im
only in 9th grade can you please take this question serioulsy

Answer
Hey AJ,

There are far fewer catchers than any other position.. This was a very easy question for me.. Your chances of making it to the major leagues is FAR better if you are a good catcher or can throw the ball 95 miles an hour.. 2nd baseman are a dime a dozen..
Go for the catching position , for sure..
Good Luck...
