Our team has only one bracket pitcher right now. We have no big name so we're going to have to look for talent and commitment and take some hits to develop her. I like it that way, to be honest. The ace pitchers often come with baggage (parental at our age level), and there's something really awesome about building something from the ground up. Last fall there was a first year 10U team with zero experienced pitching (this is the team my DD joined in the spring). They got killed all fall but they kept trucking and that same pitcher this fall is about a zillion times better. She was always fast but very wild. They took all those losses with her in the circle though, and all that experience plus her and her parents' commitment and she's gotten to be a great pitcher. I love it. I have a soft spot for developmental teams.
It is interesting to see what can happen with the developmental teams.
DD 3 was on a C level team for a few summers, and by the end they were beating some of the stronger B teams in the state on a good day. (On a bad day they were getting killed by errors).
When DD 3 started, she was the hardest throwing girl on the team, but there were about 3 or 4 other girls who were more consistent pitchers.
These days DD 3 is the only one of those girls who still pitches, and none of the original pitchers are still on the team. Instead they are developing some new pitchers.
