just now · claude-sonnet-4-6

The Bees are 11-4 with a deep, balanced roster but just dropped two of their last four games (Stow, PR Rams) — both losses featured offensive shutdowns against quality arms. The top of the order is elite, but Sanchez and Frasco at spots 2 and 8 are genuine weak links that need to be addressed in the lineup.

Recommended lineup· @ Premier Ohio - Brown 11U

  1. 1.
    Logan Kosir#2Elite OBP (.591), 13 BB — gets on base to set the table for the power spots behind him.
  2. 2.
    Tanner Van Kirk#3Best hitter on the roster (.727 AVG, 61.5% QAB, 27 SB) — bats second to maximize PAs and run-scoring opportunities.
  3. 3.
    Christopher Kooser#38Team leader in RBI (23), HHB% 40.5%, 6 two-out RBI — protects Van Kirk and drives in Kosir.
  4. 4.
    Lochlan Yuhnke#19 two-out RBI (team high), .459 OBP — clutch bat in the cleanup spot despite modest AVG.
  5. 5.
    Charlie Wypasek#10.463 OBP via 10 BB, 10 RBI — patient bat keeps the line moving; not a contact threat but draws walks in run-producing situations.
  6. 6.
    Charlie Herzak#5Trending hot, QAB% 48.4%, HHB% 23.1%, 4 two-out RBI — elevated from typical spot 8 to capitalize on current form.
  7. 7.
    Emmett Gdovicak#7.562 OBP, 4 BB, solid contact in spots — better plate discipline than Frasco or Sanchez keeps the order cycling.
  8. 8.
    Sam McDermott#11Trending hot, HHB% 23.3%, 7 RBI — makes contact and has been productive in recent games at the bottom of the order.
  9. 9.
    Sal Frasco#24Cold trend, QAB% 36.1%, zero XBH — demoted from typical spot 8; still gets PAs but away from high-leverage situations.
  10. 10.
    Jackson Taylor#25Cold trend, QAB% 29%, heavy GB rate (68%) — limited PAs at 10 are appropriate given current contact quality.
  11. 11.
    Dante Patete#21QAB% 25%, 7 K in 28 PA — fewest PAs at 11 is correct sequencing; 4 two-out RBI show he can contribute when he reaches.
  12. 12.
    Damian Sanchez#30Lowest QAB% (24.4%), zero two-out RBI, 25 LOB — dropped to 12 to minimize damage from genuine contact struggles.

Coach insights

  • PitchingStart Yuhnke Thursday; Wypasek Is UnavailableLochlan Yuhnke is fully available (rest_needed_days: 1, last pitched May 3 — 10 days ago, 0 pitches in last 7 days) and is the playbook's preferred strike-thrower for tight games. Wypasek needs 2 days rest and is unavailable for Thursday. Jackson Taylor needs 4 days rest — also out. Yuhnke can go up to 85 pitches. If he needs relief, Damian Sanchez (0 pitches last 7 days, fully fresh) or Dante Patete (24 pitches May 7, 1-day rest satisfied) are the best available arms behind him. Avoid Gdovicak and Kooser (both need 2 days rest).

Coach insights

  • HittingVan Kirk and Kooser Are Carrying the OffenseTanner Van Kirk (.727 AVG, .744 OBP, QAB% 61.5%, HHB% 39.4%) and Christopher Kooser (.622 AVG, QAB% 56.1%, HHB% 40.5%, 23 RBI) are the two best hitters on the roster by every measure — contact quality, outcomes, and situational production. Van Kirk has 27 SB and 5 two-out RBI; Kooser has 6 two-out RBI and an HR. Both belong in the top 3 spots and should see maximum PAs.
  • QualitySanchez Is Genuinely Struggling — Not UnluckyDamian Sanchez is batting .237 with a QAB% of just 24.4%, HHB% 15.8%, and a 57.1% GB rate — the lowest quality-contact profile on the roster. He has 25 LOB and zero two-out RBI on the season. The play-by-play confirms the pattern: in the Stow game he went 0-3 with two groundouts and a strikeout, and in the IVL game he struck out twice in 3 AB. This is not bad luck — he's making weak contact and not squaring balls up. Drop him to the bottom third of the order.
  • QualityKosir's OBP Is Real; His Contact Isn'tLogan Kosir leads the team in walks (13) and has a .591 OBP — genuinely elite for this level — but his HHB% is just 16.1% and he has zero XBH on the season. He's a true OBP asset at the top of the order but not a run-producer. Keep him in the leadoff spot where his on-base ability creates the most value; don't expect him to drive anyone in.
  • HittingFrasco Cold, Herzak Hot — Swap Their Lineup SpotsSal Frasco is trending cold: 0-3 with 2 K in the Stow game, QAB% 36.1%, zero XBH all season, and 13 LOB. His recent play-by-play shows pop-outs and weak grounders. Charlie Herzak is trending hot (tagged 'hot'), QAB% 48.4%, HHB% 23.1%, and has been productive in the 6-8 range. Herzak should move up to spot 6-7; Frasco drops to 8-9.
  • PatternsTwo-Out RBI Concentration Is ExtremeYuhnke leads the team with 9 two-out RBI despite a .387 AVG — he's clutch with runners on and two outs even when his overall line looks modest. Van Kirk (5), Kooser (6), and Herzak (4) are also reliable in two-out situations. Frasco has just 1 two-out RBI in 36 PA and Sanchez has zero — reinforcing that both should be sequenced away from high-leverage spots in the order.
  • PatternsStow Loss Exposed Lineup Vulnerability in MiddleIn the Stow game, the Bees scored only 2 runs. The play-by-play shows Frasco (0-3, 2K), Yuhnke (0-3, 2K), Wypasek (0-3, 1K), and Sanchez (0-3, 1K) all going hitless — four consecutive lineup spots producing nothing. The team's offense collapsed in the 2-5 range of that day's order. Restructuring to keep Van Kirk, Kooser, and Kosir in the top 3 ensures the best contact is concentrated where it gets the most PAs.

Coach insights

  • OpponentPremier Ohio Brown: Expect a Weaker OpponentThe only prior history is against Premier Ohio Ullemeyer (a different Premier Ohio squad), which the Bees beat 14-2 on April 25 at home. No direct data on Premier Ohio Brown exists. However, Premier Ohio programs at 11U in this region tend to be mid-tier competition. In the Ullemeyer game, Kosir (3 QAB, 2 BB), Kooser (2-1, 2B, 2 RBI), and Van Kirk (2-2, 2B) all had strong outings. Watch for Premier Ohio pitchers who may throw more strikes than recent opponents — the Bees' free-swingers (Sanchez, Frasco) tend to struggle against command pitchers. Expect the Bees to win if Yuhnke throws strikes early.
