The coach made this statement after a game two weeks ago. I completely agree with this philosophy. My sons team is almost half way through their summer season and I have yet to see a consistent defensive lineup . My question is can my son ask his coach where he is in the pecking order at each position he plays and what he needs to do to get the lions share of playing time at said position.
It is a playing time issue but, just need clarity. I'm not one of those parents who are going to be in the coaches ear. The status quo isn't going to work either though. My son is going to be a junior next year. So this is getting to the meaty time to get colleges to watch him. If his coaches opinion is that he has better options than him I think its important info for my son to have. Going into the season we knew there would be some rotating going on. This is a roster of 17 made up of 18's and 19's (3 p.o.) . So there 14 position players he is juggling playing time with. My son hits every game whether they are batting 9 or 10 and hasn't made an error in the field . When schools are seeing at him in games . I don't want them to think if this kid isn't good enough to play in the field on his travel team , how is he going to play for me.
