now playing third …

Joe Terdoslavich, a strong candidate to make the Mississippi Braves’ roster this spring, is working out at third base as a non-roster invitee in Atlanta’s camp. The switch-hitting slugger, rated the top power hitter in the Braves’ minor league system by Baseball America, apparently will move from first base to third this season. “It’s not tough,” he told mlb.com. “I’ve played it my whole life. Third base is like hitting. It’s a reaction position.” Terdoslavich played third in high school and again at Long Beach State before Atlanta drafted him in the sixth round in 2010. He played primarly outfield during a season at Miami (Fla.) in 2008 and was a first baseman last season at Class A Lynchburg. Terdoslavich batted .286 with 20 homers and a Carolina League-record 52 doubles in his first full pro season. He isn’t rated among the Braves’ Top 10 prospects but certainly will be a player to watch this season in Pearl.
