At U10-U18 is actual performance the defensive measuring stick or is there none?
This is a topic I raised because in a previous thread the prevailing opinion was there are many ways to hit and that it was the outcome that counted. No age was group inferred. So is the same assumption made for defenders and technique or lack there of?Depends what you are trying to measure. Who is the best defender at the 10u tournament you are playing this week? Or what 14u player will be the best shortstop for the collage team you are scouting for 4 years from now? Which JV player will be best on the varsity team next year?
