Guaranteed Playing Time For All Players

Summer Collegiate season is designed for players to get their reps, improve and go back to their school a better player.  One of the biggest issues with these leagues is that just like spring season, some players pay their money, show up and still get pushed to the end of the bench.

 

The other reality is that a lot of the "super teams" put 20 position players (and too many pitchers) on their roster.  Most of the time they won't tell you that is there intention.  In this case again, some (a lot of) players will get shorted when it comes to getting their reps.

 

We take a different approach.  We only put 13 or 14 position players on a roster.  We also do it by position:

* 2 or 3 catchers

* 3 Corner Infielders

* 3 Middle Infielders

* 4 Outfielders

* 1 Utility player

 

What we do is have our coaches put all position players in the lineup.  We bat everyone.  This way you KNOW you will get your ABs.   Based on league rules, this also allows us free defensive substitutions.  We rotate players in to their primary positions about 60% of the defensive innings.

 

PCCL does it this way so that we can GUARANTEE you get your reps over the summer season.
