Alot the problem is daddy ball. You have a dad who has a kid that always plays SS, 2nd, etc. no matter what. Then they go out and try to find pitching. Good luck. Most good pitchers know that scenario well by the time they are 16u or even 14u and steer clear. Your better pitchers don't want to be the 1 ace on the team. At high levels most want to be on a team with 1-2 other quality pitchers. It kills me to see posts that say we have a solid defense. We just need that A level bracket pitcher to compete. No...you need 2, minimum.
