I am managing my first 8U Travel Game this friday night and i need some advise with my pitching staff.

We play 6 innings and the max a boy can pitch is 3 innings. Here is my staff in a nutshell. 1 big strong kid who throws hard for his age but is inconsistent and could probably pitch 3 innings. Then I have 3 boys who are more accurate but don't have the velocity that he does. Good for 1 inning maybe 2.

Do I go with the 3 boys and then follow up with the hard thrower or set up the rotation the other way around?

Please Help.

Throw the kid who could be great if he has control, but is useless if he doesnt first. Then you can yank him quick if he pitches poorly. If you use him last, you have noone else to go to if he pitches poorly.
