When my son made varsity his soph year he batted ninth. His attitude was he's in the lineup and can take care of the rest by hitting. He's hit third junior and senior year.quote:Originally posted by xbaseballkidx11:

It doesn't matter where you hit in the lineup. You're IN the lineup. You can prove a lot more batting 7th than on the bench.
