Just curious, anyone notice a bad level of competition this year? Not sure if I got spoiled by varsity hs baseball but 16u teams we faced this year aren’t good..,,

The 16u team I coached (with all 15u and 14u players) would have beat a majority of high school varsity teams. The teams they wouldn’t have beaten were teams with junior and senior pitchers headed for D1 programs.** Five players ultimately played D1. All the rest except one played college ball at D2 or D3s. He could have played college ball. He chose to play college basketball.

** In the fall after 14u I had them play in a local 17u tournament. We split four games. We got no hit in one. I remember laughing when our lead off kid returned to the dugout mumbling, “That’s some nasty shite.” We got no hit that game.
