[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you still answering questions?  Do you think it is better for a pretty good league age 10 player to be one of the best on AAA or to play majors?  (For what it's worth our LL goes to League age 12).  This would mean a second year in AAA and then presumably two years at majors after that.

We are leaning towards AAA for more playing time - especially pitching, etc.  He was one of the better AAA players at league age 9, but not a phenom such that he would still be one of the best in Majors as a 4th grader.  Thanks!  [/quote]

Not the baseball expert, but just a parent here.

At least in our league, there are limits to how many LA 10s can be on each Majors team, so your child may not make Majors anyway solely because of age.  The few who do make it are standouts- almost all travel kids- and often are limited in their playing time, not because they're bad, but because there are 11 and 12 year olds who are really good.

You know your LL best- will there be Majors teams next year stacked with dominant 12 year olds (like in our league)? If so, I'd definitely keep your kid in AAA for the playing and pitching time, and then have him apply for All-Stars.[/quote]
