I am going to hijack, so my apologies. I was in a discussion with a HS asst coach on player/positioning choices. The team policy (as put forth by HC) is to only allow pitchers to pitch. "They're too valuable to risk getting hurt". My counter was if your P is the best athlete on the field, one of the best batters, a terrific fielder (any position), you are hurting the team when #2 is in circle. (this is not my DD, rather an upperclass teamate who is the #1 pitcher. Is she an Ocasio, no but relatively speaking on our team, she is.) My example to the coach was Ocasio, for which the retort was, yeah, we dont like messing up the chemistry between fielders. Which made me think she didnt know Ocasio...
Any thoughts?
