While in the younger divisions fraught with walks this may work, in the older divisions you will simply leave runners on bases rather than get runs. Glad to see your son had so much success and enjoys the game! Tell him to keep up the good work. Spreading the good hitters out every 4 batters does not “stack your hits”.

My son started playing little league baseball this past season. Whereas, I liked the couch he had... I didn't always agree with the batting order that he placed my son along with a few other boys on the team. I know you are probably thinking I'm just giving my son more credit than what he deserves (being his mom and all and this being his first season. But really I'm not. The coach had him batting second to last. I think he might have been using the order as; his good hitters every 4th at bat. I have attended all practices and seen how the entire team bats as well as plays out field. My son can really out hit most the other players. He wasn't the best, but was damn good. He would only get to bat once maybe twice a game due to time of the game. I think we could have won more runs if he used your method and moved my son up. He did in the finals move him up to 4th position but by then it was to late. At the end of season 3 of the 4 coaches wants my son on their next season team. He really is good, lol!
