Makes sense
I don't fail to realize, but on our club parents have access to the in game stats through gamechanger. Typically this prevents some of the bias involved in score keeping. Scorekeepers are accountable as well. You speak of integrity! How much integrity is involved in a coaches gut feeling? LOL. Gut feelings that are influenced by favoritism and bias. Stats help with integrity, takes the emotions out of a coaches decision. Again not the be all end all, but a very important tool.You fail to realize at the club level, it is usually Tommy's Mom, or the Short Stop's Dad (which may very well be a head coach or assistant) inputting data. Garbage in, garbage out. Was that an error? Was that a sacrifice? What was the situation. Moreover, most scorekeepers (not unlike most coaches) couldn't tell the difference between a rise and a high fastball, and the data points you cite above are not typically recorded in club level stats. Why? Because the integrity of the data is unreliable.
