KEEP IT COMING
As I predicted on this post in November, we are approaching "guy with the pole barn" legacy, and, with a little luck and creative short-hair tweaking of the long-winded, we can get to "my daughter has to change numbers" rarified air..............................
So, in an effort to fertilize the plant bed for another 10 pages of growth:
Enjoy the 10U success today and be proud for the girls and what they accomplish. Be patient and keep in mind that VERY rarely will that success translate past 14U - as spots and movement become such a premium at 43', very few young power pitchers (and their parents) have the ability to adapt as the competition, and pitching distance, increase. Couple that with late growth spurts, burn outs, and team-hopping, the elite players today have the same chance of long term success as the long, lean, athletic player with resources that is picking up a bat for the first time this spring in their local rec league. It's a crap shoot.
