12U Fall Ranking

[NatRx]

#1 pitcher for the Grapettes is what put's that team at #1 she ihas amazing speed and stamina. Not sure how many of you watched or heard about the game between the dirt dogs and the Grapettes in Lodi. But l heard the dirt dogs gave the Grapettes a real good run. I hear a couple of controversial calls and great coaching (making things happen) is what won that game for the Grapettes. But lets all be honest without that #1 pitcher this team would be ranked 2 maybe 3 or maybe even 4.

To bad the other players didnt have anything to do with that win. Or the girl who hit the homerun to win it. But I am just guessing that the pitcher is your DD. By the way, great first post mom.....

That's not her mom (or dad)...

Your pitcher does'nt win games for you, she keeps it close enough for you to get the win by manufacturing runs.

Thank you Captain Obvious

Definitely a good pitcher.....Speed yes, Stamina yes, because I believe she pitched every game Sunday. She did not start the game against the Dirt Dogs but came into close. The pitcher who pitched for the Dirt Dogs in the champ game, not sure if she is the #1, she had some heat.
Not sure where the Grapettes would be without her, as far as rankings go....but their team is solid and the pitcher who started the Champ game for them was good too.

If you take the top 1 or 2 players from any of the top 5 teams, they will all probably slip down in the rankings. So it's no surprise the grapes are a better team with their #1.

I believe she pitched every game Sunday.

Unfortunately for the pitcher. Recipe for injury in the long run.

If it's so obvious then why the talk about a pitcher carrying a team Major Moron

[Bdad73]

Wohoo put the gloves up!! Ahh come on guys it's pretty clear..Your #1 is your bellcow and has the most influence in winning games, she's who gives the team and coaches the confidence going into a pool play and Sunday play and knowing how to best position that #1 for a winning a game/tournament. If anything specially in Norcal with so many teams and everyone searching for pitching..your #2 and #3 are there to "keep you in the game" and let the #1 rest. Now if your #2 is just as good as your #1 does it matter what anyone says but doesn't sound like that's the issue.

RIGHT?!?! Some people need to take a deep breath, relax, and release those panties they've got all bound up It's Obvious cuz some of us have been around this game enough to know that the defensive strategy with your pitcher is to keep hits/runs down and then back it up with as much offensive support as possible... Not everyone on here needs a lesson on this basic concept...
