I'm coaching a 10u rec league All Star team. There will be one girl on it that is absolutely exceptional. Great reflexes, sure glove, strong and accurate arm, and most importantly, she's years beyond her age on understanding the game. From base running to fielding, she knows what to do.
She's played 3rd base the previous 3 years. In baseball, the best fielder was usually put at SS. Does this hold true in fastpitch?
Our #1 pitcher throws as hard at 35' as most of the local high school girls throw. No one has gotten a solid hit of this girl all year and none pulled to the left side.
I would imagine that we face a good bit of butting against this pitcher. Where do I play this girl, 3B or SS?
Thanks.
