Who ever said only nine players can only play that's why you have dh,s designated players,flex players etc. We have 12 kids on the team and all of them get used in some way or another
Another thing we have done is to try n coach to have the majority of our players to be utility players so we can move them around freely so depending on stats for ex. One week you might play lf next week rf or ss vs 2nd we have 2 people keeping stats and try to play what the stats are telling us. In another ex we have a girl that really struggles getting herself on base but is awesome at base running while one of our pitchers is good at getting on base but is slow n not good at running the bases well if player A is sitting we bring her in to run for the pitcher.

Interesting... I really haven't heard anyone say, but I have seen, where the coaches DD IS the better player. I have seen this more than the "DaddyBall" everyone talks about.
Why do coaches assume that parents are inept at evaluating talent?1. Why do people assume their DD is a better player than the coach's DD?
5. Why do people assume that any coach who plays just nine is devious and never really plays the best nine as he or she sees it?
