If you are playing Cinderella batting and free substitution at 10U: One thing I like to do is have my lead off hitter(s) on the bench in the first inning. No one likes being on the bench so at least they get the compensation of hitting first.
I also like to bat my pitcher near the bottom of the lineup, even if she is one of my better hitters. I would rather give her more time to warm up rather than have her bat in the 1st inning.
