I think maybe the most encouraging thing in this article is that Gil not playing much short isn’t an indictment of his ability. Would’ve been pretty stupid if they were giving up on him at short because of some errors as a young 19 year old. Also I didn’t know before the statcast data that Ritchie had as low of a release height as he does.
Agree 100%! Derek Jeter committed 56 errors in 126 games as a shortstop for the Class-A Greensboro Hornets in 1993, which was his first full professional season and that worked out pretty well...
Not saying Gil is going to be Derek Jeter, but glad to know they see him in the running for Braves SS of the future.
