Had some parents express some dissatisfaction with a 12th player added to the team. In fact so much so they left to become the 12th player on another team.
As team ages up it seems to be just a fact of life to have some pitchers that pitch only and don't play other positions on the team.
For a sanity check I looked at the top 10, 14U A teams (u-trip) and found the following.
Average roster size is 12.3 kids. Highest was 16 and the lowest number was 10. I suspect that teams with 10 probably have kids added week to week so the average is really closer to 13.
How do you tell parents of little Susie she isn't good enough and needs to embrace a pitching "only" role?
