DD is an above average outfielder in 10u and has been catching 14U pitchers during lessons for around a year. The thing I am worried about the most is her fitting in because of the age difference. I think she can play OF just fine but will struggle behind the plate a bit. Batting is one thing that worries me as well but if she works hard enough she should get down.
Outfielders in 10U pick up the rollers that get past the IF, and see an occasional pop fly into the grass. At 14U, girls are spraying the ball to all fields and threatening the fence on a regular basis. The outfield goes from a place where you hide your worst players to the place where your best athletes find a home. Infielders may find that the ball gets to them quicker and the runners are faster, but for outfielders 14U is a completely different game than 10U.
