[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those posting that baseball/softball are more objective must have never seen how these stats are made. They are scored by people. And not professionals at younger and HS levels. If a parent is scoring, they can intentionally or unintentionally (through inexperience, inconsistency, who is doing the scoring) affect the stats. And as others said who gets at bats. Complainers get their kids more AB. And all too often who gets a "hit" vs. reached on error are very subjective and based on who is scoring. Or for pitchers, earned vs. unearned runs. I've seen a decade of parents complaining to even get their kids stats changed. Unless the coach has a strong backbone this happens in HS sadly. As someone else mentioned, not all coaches bat/play the "best" kids in the field. They often take into account seniority (not necessarily wrong) and their own subjective bias. Even who gets "district honors" can be truly political and not at all statistics driven. Swimming/track and field are much more objective. [/quote] GameChanger parent here (and I'm sure I get it wrong, but I do try to be equally hard on my own kids at least). If your coach uses GC stats to determine...anything other than maybe ball/strike percentages for pitchers, they aren't a great coach. Find a new one.[/quote]
