The Rec League coaches do a pretty good job for the most part and many the become TB coaches. The amazing thing to me is the absolutely horrible mechanics we see once "seasoned TB players get to HS. It is a serious joke to see kids waiting on ground balls, throwing like girls or sidearmed, hitting with solely their upper bodies, drifting after fly balls, etc. this is added to the fact that they haven't been taught How to Play the Game. Base running blunders, failing to hit cutoffs, situational game stupidity.....all commonplace. It may look like the HS coaches don't know what they are doing due in great part to the past horrific failures of these players' TB coaches......so forgive me if I cut the rec ball coaches a little slack....at least they don't claim to know everything. Maybe the TB coaches just aren't willing to pass their vast knowledge along to these young ladies.
