I am looking for help on where to draw the line between relying on player awareness vs when to make defensive calls. This is at the 14A Level and up till now most of the situations have been left to player decisions or coaches calling it out.
Specifically what plays do the high level teams...
This is part rant and part curiosity for what others are seeing at the different ages or regions.

My DD is 11 and going into first yr 12u and a little over 2 yrs of pitching at TB. In 10u her FB was above average and her CU was inconsistent but she still threw it a lot with plenty of success. Her CU would float and she got away with it due to her FB being fast enough to rush batters...
