A few more notes on this topic as it relates to HS... in addition to the previously mentioned typical lack of power and timing to be able to make a "lift" approach successful with any degree of consistency...
All of this is assuming something close to the norm or average...
HS infielders have far less range, fielding prowess, arm strength and accuracy than mid-level and above college and pro IF's.
The one thing HS players do best defensively is track and catch fly balls and there is no throw involved in completing the putout.
HS hitters are not nearly as consistent at finding the sweetspot of the barrel.
The effect of a less-than-perfect playing surface comes into play much more so on ground balls than fly balls.
Again, I am not promoting a ground ball teach or approach. But I am adding supporting factors that back up more of a neutral line drive/path on plane of pitch approach at this level.
