PG's David Rawnsley recently posted an interesting article on prioritizing outfield arms.

In his piece David makes a great point about Left Field being the more important position. In Little League we used to hide the weak ones in Right. How did that change? And is that really the place for your best outfield arm? Your thoughts please.

I tend to believe the 60-40 (LF-RF) split for MLB due to the strength and quality of hitters.

At lower levels I would expect the split to shift the other way.

In little league you better adjust your outfield strengths based upon the velocity of your pitcher and the quality of hitters you expect to play against. JMO.
