Two way players

[ncbravesfan]

Do you guys think this will be incorporated into the game in 19? With Ohtani already having been one of those guys in 2018, and reports that teams are possibly going to use players like Matt Davidson and Kaleb Cowart on the bench and as relievers, it would make sense to somehow make that an option in the game.

If they could do it easily, then why not? If it takes a lot of work, then probably there are more important things to sort first. After all, it's not really a thing yet.

ohtani gave it a go for a couple of months, but he's crocked now so won't do it this year. People thought that Padres catcher would do it, but it turned out he was terrible at pitching, hitting and catching. Position players who fancy themselves as better than average junk pitchers have been around a while, but again never really played a significant role in baseball other than being the go to guy in blowouts. Brendan McKay is in the minors and highly rated, but has a long way to go to prove he can do it, or that it's worth him doing it.

Definitely something to keep an eye on though, as teams are always looking for more versatility, but until we actually see it used significantly, then it probably is more gimmicky than genuinely important. (although it would obviously be cool for RTTS)

I have a feeling that they're working very hard on making this happen and neglecting the games' issues?

Totally disagree here. This just isn't happening enough, nor is it even beneficial. People want to be able to have this so they can bring in somebody in a blow out? More important issues.

Was being completely facetious.

I’ll be surprised if it’s not in there given Ohtani had a huge rookie year. Had he flamed out, maybe it goes unnoticed.

R.B.I Baseball 19 has two-way players. The show needs to step up.

Rangers signed Matt Davidson as a two way player.
