David Ortiz reveals that he would not use Fernando Tatis Jr at shortstop in the World Classic; he sends him to this position

The forecasts of World Baseball Classic they keep popping up. now it was David Ortiz who shared the one that would be for him the ideal line up for the Dominican Republic in this competition WBSC. As expected, ‘Big Papi’ included Fernando Tatis Jr. in the lineup, but he did not put him at short stop but sent him to cover another position.

If conditions permit, Fernando Tatis Jr. will surely be part of the 2023 World Baseball Classic representing the Dominican Republic and will share a place with his MLB colleagues.

David Ortiz considers that ‘El Niño’ should be present in the line-up of the country from Quito for this WBSC event, but he revealed that he would not place him covering the shortstop but would send him to the outfield.

Tatis Jr. already has experience as an outfielder, since the San Diego Padres used him in this position during some games of the 2022 Major League Season, so the idea of ​​’Big Papi’ would not be unreasonable.

The representative of the Dominican Republic in the 2023 World Baseball Classic would have other stars from the ‘Big Tent’ in addition to Fernando. Among them would be Rafael Devers, José Ramírez, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and company.
