from my understanding he's on as a pitcher being what he was recruited for but the coach wants him to play outfield too if things work out which he is more then capable of. If something happens and that dont work out either way he will be successful.

its not uncommon in college baseball to see outfielders come in a throw a few innings on relief and close some games out on a regular basis.

With the talent Shep has he can be used in multiple ways to help a club win and im sure they see that and want to utilize it to there best advantage.

he may be an everyday outfielder, pitcher or a lill of both, only time will tell.
best of luck

Mike McGee, All-American OF for FSU, is the Seminoles' closer as well. So it is possible. They also have used Friday starter, Sean Gilmartin, as an OF replacement in Defense for Offense situations.

So, it is definitely possible. I think it'd be fun to see Chandler in a role like that.
