I've been doing rec ball since 1974. I have clues. I stand by my earlier statements.

The only differences in travel ball and "normal" players are that travel ball plays more games and the coaches actually understand how to teach baseball fundamentals. They use repetition to instill those fundamentals. Any "normal" kid can do what they do on travel ball teams - they just need teaching.
OH!! I see plenty of 9 year olds that couldn't find their glove if you labeled it, gave it to them and told them what it was. But even those kids can learn with proper teaching.
My point is a coach can teach them to throw and stop this BS song and dance - you only need 3 players that can throw and you've got it solved.
