What I look for in line up:I really don't care - I was happy she was playing. She does bat lead-off on her TB team so they do recognize that she gets on a lot. I was just surprised it was such a shock to him that she had only struck out once. (She struck out once in the fall season of TB against a good pitcher - she saw that pitcher the next day and hit a double off her - she was so happy.) With the other girls on her HS team I don't think she should be batting super high since I do know the other girls are better hitters than her.
But if others say they don't notice really, I guess it's fine. I was curious what coaches do look at when deciding line-ups, etc Since for some girls it didn't make sense.
1. OBP + Speed
2. OBP + speed + will take a ball Oppo
3. Average + OBP + more power
4. Power + OBP, ability to drive in runs and smart enough to know there is more than one way.
5. Power and Average protect the 4 hole hitter
6. Power and average + OBP
7. OBP + speed + small ball
8. OBP + speed + small ball
9. Second lead off mindset.
