Hey DFP
Got Comments about players being used as only pinch runners?!
Seeing more players on rosters who can hit but apparently aren't able to run for themselves (holy mackerel)
Seeing Pinch Runners used more.
Any thoughts on if you think colleges are going to start targeting picking up super Speedy runners and that's why they get picked up? Don't think I've ever heard of a player in softball that got picked up only for their speed and wasn't used anywhere else on the field.
Hmmm
Still it looks like the bottom of the roster is filling in running for their teammates who get to play. Yeah yeah running is being in the game sure....but...
My daughter's HS team scored a lot of runs last year by putting less skilled but faster players in whenever possible. Subbed them in any way possible, and it worked very well. Plus they were happy to be in the game. My daughter isn't fast around the bases, but her hitting has improved a lot so she knows she's gonna get on a lot more. She said "I love running bases, but I know he's gonna sub in someone for me because I run like a headless chicken."
