Re: Team Member Geography
I agree that there are some skills that are lost when kids switch to a national-level structure when they're very young. There's a certain amount of Softball IQ that can only come through repetition. While I agree that today's players are way better athletes, hitters, and pitchers, sometimes you watch them at the college level and they're terrible on the small stuff, ie; base runners, can't hit the cut, etc. It's nice to see a hybrid, Bandits, where there's at least some practice.
