You will see the good, the bad, and the ugly.So there about 35 California teams at PGF 12-U Premier Nationals in Huntington Beach. We’re pretty familiar with the Midwest, East Coast, and Southern teams there.
What should we expect to see from these California teams?
Most teams have GC. Some with open stats.
Your draw is super important. A good draw can extend your week and a bad draw might lead to 2 and BBQ.
There will be teams with pitchers that throw fast(60ish) but at 12u most fast pitchers have little movement and are hittable if you practice for speed.
Strike zones tend to be on the bigger side for the most part so a slower pitcher with excellent control can still compete.
If the number 3 hitter drives the 275 feet, it ok to intentionally walk her next time up.
