/ˈav(ərij/
noun
1.a number expressing the central or typical value in a set of data, in particular the mode, median, or (most commonly) the mean, which is calculated by dividing the sum of the values in the set by their number.
There are roughly 300 DI Softball programs. If you're playing on the 152 or 259 ranked RPI program you're, in the nicest terms possible, playing for an average softball program. You can spin it any way you want, but that's a fact. Nobody said they were an average academic school, we're on a softball site and discussing softball shit.
I understand that any player on a DI scholarship is exceptional on their own merit and I also believe that DI is significantly better softball than the other divisions.
So based on your numbers approximately 49% of your parents will probably reach a point in their child's career where "Bandits hit better than your dd's team, play better defense than your dd's team, run bases better, in addition to pitching better than your dd's team." won't apply to their current situation. Trying to say otherwise makes "You sound like a little whiny baby!".
Just an opinion, but if you agree with the OP then I'm pretty sure you don't actually understand the definition of condescending.
