Playing Time in Games!

I want to address the issue of playing time for each player on the team. I plan to have every player rotate at several positions each game. We will have each player sit out 1 inning and then play two consecutive innings in most cases. Please understand that there are a few positions on the field that I do not feel comfortable with having players play without some practice at that position (primarily Pitcher and Catcher). If you child wants to play Pitcher or Catcher, they need to tell me and they need to be at practice at 12:30 pm on Saturdays so that I can see them Pitch or Catch. I do not want to put a player at Catcher and have them get hurt because they have no previous experience or coaching at that position. Players who want to learn to pitch or who have pitched in the past need to be at practice on Saturdays at 12:30 so that I can see them pitch off of the mound and make sure that thier pitching mechanics are sound so that they do not hurt thier arms while pitching.

Finally, please try to work with your child on his throwing technique as taught by Andy Zavorek at the throwing clinic this past Saturday.

Thanks,

Coach Anthony M. Fraser
