I know, None of them. now that we got that out of the way, I'm talking Little League/U12.
I keep track of some stats as I think it helps me keep things in perspective. Like for instance a kid who starts out slow but steadily improves or starts out strong and gradually fades - I may not notice but the stats exercise brings it to my attention. sometimes it's a kid who seems to strike out a lot, but then I see her OBP is over .600.
the two I pay the most attention to (and share with the other coaches) are AVG and OBP.
I do not think our team hits well, but we have more than half the team hitting over 500. (Granted the bunting game has been working well for us)
what kind of AVG/OBP should we be shooting for in this kind of league, or is this really a question that's relative to whatever the competition is??
Or maybe my first answer is correct - No stats are significant when working with kids.
