It’s not uncommon for a player to field out of position during batting practice. We’ve seen several Dodgers players this year take groundballs that might not normally, and even a few infielders shagging flyballs.
Even Mookie Betts was taking groundballs at third base last year alongside Edwin Rios. The 2 Dodgers made a little bit of a competition out of it and had some fun. But seeing a pitcher do anything other than pitch on the field is always odd.
So when Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler took some grounders at shortstop on Sunday, it turned heads.
