[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why he might be sitting. He is one of the top hitters. Is he not a good fielder? Or are you saying you think politics/favorites/prioritizing some kids over others is making coach bench your kid?

I wouldn’t have my son stay on a team where he didn’t play in the field and bat. You don’t improve and it feels terrible. There are other teams.[/quote]

He is a good fielder in club ball, but apparently not in Little League? - and that is on a smaller field….🤷‍♀️  Now I’m concerned that this will carry over to club ball, since it is many of the same kids on the roster. [/quote]

Have you talked to the coach? A year older and it would have to be your kid who talks to coach (and it would be great if kid could now) but you could tell coach you would like to know what your kid should be working on, and what is preventing him from rotating onto the field.

It’s just really weird - sometimes kids don’t hit but coach will still put them out in left field for two innings.[b] Hitting but never playing the field is weird, and weird enough that a conversation is warranted[/b], I think.[/quote]

Not really. In some summer tournaments you use all your hitters (eg 11 of them) but obviously only field 9. So 2 sit. Usually the worst fielders. [/quote]
