Tryouts, tryouts, tryouts.

I don't know what is is like in other parts of the country but our local fast pitch Facebook page is blowing up with tryouts and teams looking for players (especially pitchers and catchers). Big clubs and independents are all posting often. I have a feeling that there are kids walking away from SB and it's putting some teams in a bind.

IDK, it always seems to be like it this time of year. Not sure I have seen a spike. Maybe need to pay more attention.

Pitchers are golden all year round.

I'm probably going to un-follow the FB page because it is all that's on my feed.

what is the facebook page? I'm also in socal, but no social media for me; I've not seen or heard of any tryouts!

Corona. Also older players lose interest. The bottleneck tightens

It started over a month ago here in Texas. Looks like it is slowing down now, with the obvious exception of teams looking for that "one special player to round out our roster (pitcher a plus)".

"Strong hitter wanted"

It does get annoying this time of year when your FB feed is nothing but tryouts. Especially when you are done. Some teams post every hour on the hour. Look a little desperate.

It seems that in our area its more an issue of more teams popping up and thinning the quality a bit. 07's seem to be more scarce than other age groups, so that's been something we've had to deal with for a while anyway. Even many of the higher level teams are all having a little trouble finding 3 high quality pitchers, teams that I wouldn't expect to have trouble finding them. Every #2 or 3 pitcher wants to be #1, and there are currently enough teams for them to find a home where they can be.
