    Barely Any At Bats

    She tried out for team. Practiced with them for a week then played a friendly with them before being offered a spot.

    Unfortunately, they don't bat the lineup in friendlies. Sometimes they bat just 9, sometimes 10 or 11. It makes no sense. They will usually flex my DD in friendlies.

    My thoughts exactly. She feels like if she doesn't hit a bomb, then she won't get another at bat. How am I supposed to tell her that's not true when in the back of my mind I think it might be?

    She's not a teenager either. Haha, nope, just a toddler taking my phone, followed by me forgetting what I was doing after. But she's an adult.

    Yep, it is as ridiculous as it sounds.

    Doesn't matter if she is pitching or playing first, she isn't always put in the lineup for whatever reason.

    Yep, it's a socal org, currently 13 on the roster but they are still looking to add one or two more I think. I agree that it is unprofessional to not get a response. I will be talking to him in person about it tomorrow when she has her lesson with him. I am hoping something good comes out of it.

    Yeah, right now she loves hitting. She doesn't care where in the lineup she bats, she just wants to be in the lineup and get an opportunity. But I'm glad to hear that being a pitcher that hits doesn't seem to hinder them for recruitment.

    They definitely didn't say anything of the sort.

    Sorry, I didn't mean we paid for the season, I meant that we paid our start up fees, but man did they charge and arm and leg for start up, more than I have seen from any of our local teams. It's just hard, because she likes the coaches and the girls, and likes that they trust her as a pitcher...

    We do pay monthly, but I just paid for the start up fees, which was quite a bit. But yes, I do agree that reps are super important at this age. It was sad watching my daughter listen to her teammates talk about all their at bats after the games when she only got one. Even if they think she is...

    Thank you for all the advice! She is definitely putting in a lot of work with her hitting. But I feel like if she gets anything less than a homerun or triple with her one at bat per weekend, then she will continue to get just one at bat. But she isn't going to magically get there without live...

    Glad to see there are some good coaches out there. I feel like we just keep running into teams with such big issues. Besides this issue, everything else is good. But I cannot for the life of me understand why they won't give everyone equal opportunity for friendlies.

    I just texted the owner asking what my daughter can do to earn more at bats. And I let him know that she usually only gets about 1 at bat per weekend. He responded saying he would look into it and get back to me. Not sure what that means, but I guess we shall see.

    Maybe, but I doubt he is. Her lessons go really well. She has a lot of power but when you rarely get at bats, it's hard to get better. They definitely don't do roster batting, which I cannot understand why. Tournaments I understand playing top 9, but not getting at bats in friendlies is...

    Yeah, we are paid for the season. And it was pricey. I just really don't want her to start hating the sport because she isn't getting adequate time.
