Reply to "Hitting strategy for showcase"

I like the approach of going big in BP and being smarter in game ABs, but it really depends on the situation.  My 2021 son played on a travel ball team this summer where playing time was equal.  The team's goal is to get kids recruited; not so much to win games.  So while my son typically gets 3-4 ABs per game (he's a 1/2 hole type), I knew he wouldn't get that many this summer.  I knew he'd have games where he'd get 1-2 ABs.  The vast majority of prospective coaches are seeking big bats these days.  Even from their 1/2 hole guys.  While you want to be smart with your ABs, BBs and HBPs garner almost no one's attention.  Coaches are not there to watch your OBP over the 1, 2 or 3 days they're there.  Look to damage in every AB or some other player will.
