I have found that the quality of Jr/Sr LL baseball varies from area to area. For instance, here in San Diego it is just awful baseball, except for (gonna give a shout out here) Eastlake Jr/Sr, where it is similar to JV, and occasionally Varsity quality.
What I have found is that where there is a PONY baseball program in the same area as a Jr/Sr league, the better players tend to play Pony/Colt rather than Jr/Sr. The leftovers who weren't good enough to play in PONY baseball then opt for Jr/Sr.
In the case of Eastlake, there is no PONY baseball in the immediate area (Chula Vista is the nearest city to Eastlake with PONY baseball), so the talent pool is much larger because of this.
