@ABSORBER that is amazing for the 11/12 U team. My son's Little league team was an inning from winning the State title as 11's and got deep as 12's. By RipkenFanSon's sophomore year of college, he was the only one still playing baseball. As for the OP's question, I could answer the when was EVERYONE good more by the opposition son faced, rather than his teams (similar to Danj). This was true for his younger AAU teams, Legion and college as well(playing spring games vs P5 schools).

On a related note, my wife and I were talking the other night about how few teams RipkenFanSon played on that he was considered the best player (probably his last Legion season and a part year sub in Babe Ruth). Many teammates were "the"guys, while son even today views himself as "the little engine that could."
