I want you to mercy them in 3 innings. They're what I would call very okay. They don't have the strongest pitching.
I'll send you some video of him being upset when we destroy them.

That's if he shows up. He also coaches his older daughter's 18U team, and they're in the same tournament. When there's a conflict, he's normally with the 18s.I'll send you some video of him being upset when we destroy them.
DD2 is already 3 tourneys in (2 Jan and 1 Feb). DD1 had 1 tourney in Jan and the other was rained out, and is in the TB blackout for HS ball.
HS season is on, so the older girls had tryouts last week, the team is set, and the first games are next Wednesday.
AZ.You in FL or CA?
Were the Varsity players "dropping bombs" in live hitting?Finally starting in CT…HS tryouts are complete. First day (Monday) DD started with a bang, forgetting her cleats at home, and having mom deliver them 45 seconds before warmups started.
24 girls tried out, no one was cut (i.e. all made either JV or V), none of the 6 Freshman (all very solid TB players) made varsity. The basic message delivered to all of them in the individual meetings yesterday was – you’re a good player, nothing is permanent, but unless you were dropping bombs in live hitting, you weren’t making Varsity. That said, they’ll have an excellent JV team and get plenty of reps.

Not a fan of cast systems in sports..not saying that was going on..just saying. Evaluate what is front of your eyes and then if something is "too close to call" use other factors..(like experience).Excellent question. Off of the freshman pitcher, a few of the all-conference players were apparently hitting very well (not sure any "bombs" were dropped), and according to my DD, as a group they definitely hit "better", but I wasn't there, so can't say for sure.
