A competitive HS and College Coach will use all his weapons. The Coach will know the strengths and weakness of his players. He has the scorebook to reveal the players ability's.
1. My favorite is RBI's per at bats.
#2 what role in the lineup is the player successful.
#3 Is the hitting pitcher superior to a position player in "on base" %.
#4 can the "hitting pitcher" receive the necessary hitting instruction to be productive.
#5 Shortstops should not pitch [different arm angle] and when he pitches you have the #two SS and one error will add 5-8 pitches to the inning adding to the total pitch count.
