The curious case of Gosuke Katoh.
Selected in the second round (66th overall) by the Yankees in 2013, Katoh is a rare breed among draft hopefuls—a high school second baseman. Most infield prospects start out as shortstops and are converted elsewhere when they reach the pros. It only makes sense. These guys have been the best defender on every team they've ever played on. Naturally, any coach is going to play their best infielder at shortstop.
