3 years after HS ball is in the rear view mirror, I am still learning that there were a lot of things I didn't understand at the time, for which the coach had reasons that made sense. This site is definitely a place to vent, or perhaps, put more kindly, to ask for explanations.
I can think of various reasons for 10 am games during spring break:
- the team will play some Saturday morning games in the season, and the coach wants to see how the players do in the mornings
- it will be colder in the morning, and the coach wants to give players practice playing in the cold (youngest son's golf coach did that this weekend)
- as someone already said, shows which players will take it seriously and not party the night before

None work for us. It's April in the NE. Colder in the morning than the afternoon and neither time is great baseball weather. We almost never play on Saturdays. And the kid on the team who drink don't care. They're going to party anyway.
