Seniors who do not get to play are often emotionally hurt and eventually, through their actions, detrimental to the team. However, this isn't always the case and why a coach should make his judgement player to player. We have at least one that will receive very little playing time. I've talked with him up front about it. I've told him I consider him an inspiration to our team. (Reason not to be shared on this site.) His answer when I told him he wouldn't play much or at all so do you want to be on the team was, "Coach, I love baseball. I want to be on the team." I have a uniform for this young man and anyone like him.
