Nola is making the transition to catcher, The Miami Herald reports.
The Marlins had great success converting another middle infielder, J.T. Realmuto, into a catcher a few years ago, but Nola doesn't possess close to that kind of upside at the plate. Still, if he's able to add backstop to his defensive portfolio, he might be able to carve out a spot for himself in the majors down the road as a versatile bench player.
