Mac Horvath 2023


Just Regular

Recommended Posts

Horvath played 3B his sophomore year but OF his junior year.  It sounded like he was drafted as a RF who might be able to handle CF.  However, he’s started 8 games each at 2B and 3B and only 2 in RF.   Looks like his immediate future might be infield.

Why would you say that? I believe with Santander, Mullins, Hays have less of a chance to be here long term than our infield. Urias is Arb 1 and the rest of the infield is not even close to Arbitration.

I'm under the impression that he played where the team needed him. Versatile kid, but probably played OF because there were better infielders, not because he couldn't play infield.

I've found it interesting how much second base he's played so far. I need to go back and watch some plays to get an idea of how he's doing there and at 3B.

From an org build perspective, your points are valid.  But he's not making projections; he's reporting the news/weather. 

Either way, I suspect they are prioritizing his IF reps just to maximize his value through positional flexibility.  The floor as an OFer is already there.
