Good programs with smart coaches ask the players to rank each other before season. This gives the coach an idea where they feel their teammates fit in the lineup.
Sons HS coach did it, Jack Leggett did it and they do it in sons program now. It sort of eliminates the discussion, if you might be sitting you understand it a lot better coming from your own teammates.
So what if the reverse is true. What if, just suppose, your teammates can't figure out why "little johnny" is DH being that he can't hit a beach ball?

I am not suggesting that the coach does his line up this way. Its just getting an idea of how they perceive each other.

Kids are smart, they know who works hard and who will make the biggest impacts. Chances are if you are sitting, you don't need to ask the coach what you have to do to crack the lineup, but probably, no one is going to ask anyway.
