I had the opportunity of first meeting Brian Anderson during the 2018 Marlins FanFest. “Pleasure to meet the future at third base,” was how I ended my brief introduction. After all, at the time, Anderson was viewed solely as a third baseman.
He clearly knew something that I didn’t.
“I’m here to help out in whichever position I can,” Anderson said. “I just want to be on the field and build a winner.”
Since then, Anderson has split time between third base and right field, all while being penciled in as a middle-of-the-lineup bat.
