Would you start a prototypical average shortstop or a left handed shortstop with the most game sense.

if a college saw a girl who was left handed playing shortstop well. How would that hurt her? It would boost her in my opinion. Most SS who are recruited wind up playing a different position in college, so it's not like they would say too bad she is a SS. She has a great glove and a good arm, can hit the ball with power. Too bad we can't use her. No they are going to say can we use her in the OF or with hands like that she would be great at first. Or maybe she can catch... I see no downside for a lh player playing SS in front of college coaches, as long as she can play.What age, and what level of play.
If you are talking about 12u A ball or higher where girls are looking at potentially getting recruited; I think you are doing a left handed player a disservice playing her in the middle infield or 3rd base, plain and simple no college wants a left handed middle infielder or 3rd baseman. <<<< unlikely scenario.
If you are talking rec league play your best SS.
We are a 10u travel team. She's an outstanding of and has the most game sense of anyone on the team. I've been playing a girl at SS that is serviceable but not great and I'm trying to recruit a player to play SS in the spring. Our other Columbia ach thinks we should play her there because of her game sense.
