Free agent Zach Plesac is marketing himself as a two-way player after going 7-for-15 at the plate in indy ball last season.

Plesac did play a little outfield at Ball State, though he hit a modest .276/.361/.429 in 125 plate appearances over his three seasons in college. It’s hard to imagine Plesac performing as a legitimate two-way player, but a non-contender could sign him as a pitcher, give him 20 starts in the outfield or at DH and get him officially designated as a two-way player, potentially making him interesting to contenders looking for the advantage of being able to carry a 14th pitcher as a position player. At least, it’s only a matter of time until some team tries that with some pitcher. The problem with trying it with Plesac, though, is that he hasn’t been a useful major leaguer since 2021.
