"It’s just the rotation we have, throwing guys out there and giving them a chance to compete for an opportunity,” Van Ness said on Saturday.
“So far, [position coach Jason] Rebrovich says stay at his hip and when a guy is ready to go out, make sure you’re ready. Every time you get that opportunity, make it a good one. To me, it doesn’t mean anything – first, second third-team reps – they’re all valuable opportunities to go out there and play.”
