To give some answers, 1. I'm on a freshman team with grade eights and nines going to 17u next year. 2. Right now I want to do both I tore my rotator cuff last October and my arm is struggling to get stronger so I'm scared to pitch but still really want to. I prefer catching but it depends on the team we face and if I'm in relief or starting, I prefer catching against top teams and relieving vs them but I prefer starting against middle teams.
