Carlos Mendoza Encouraged by Bo Bichette’s Early Third-Base Work

Mendoza said he and Bichette watched third-base drills and called it “very encouraging.” “He’s an athlete,” Mendoza said. Praising his angles and throws, Mendoza can't believe Bichette hasn't played 3B before. He stressed the key is “game reps,” not just grounders, and said position switches take time. “People think you can put anybody at 1B… it takes time,” he added.
