Guidance!Great job Coach.
We actually had the exact opposite scenario. During our tryouts, we do 2 things:
1. We run drills at several areas and make ALL girls go through them.
2. We ask what position(s) they LOVE to play, and what positions they can play if asked. (we love versatility).
This girl came to us as a 1B, but during our drills, she was one of the best OF I had seen (12u). Her footwork and glove work was great, and her ability to read plays was next level. Plus, she had a pretty decent arm. We offered her a spot and now she OWNS the OF on our team. She has bought into the role, and loves it. She is somewhere around 10-11 in terms of hitting (out of 12 girls), but I would be a poor Coach to not get her in the lineup anyway possible (and that is often Flex). She never sits.
As Hawk said, sometimes it takes a Coach to recognize other talents and help them find success.
Like players given opportunity.
Good developing player stories!
As players like these move forward they have experienced options to understand better what they may like to dial in their skillsets!
To pick priority position and secondary.
