Packham anchors SS all 6. Catcher rotates at inning 4 to manage workload. Findley + M. Thomas get development reps in 4-OF rotation if game goes long.
Pitching plan
- Innings 1–2: Bailey — projected ~30 pitches. Best FPS% on the staff (71.7%) and most rested.
- Innings 3–4: Mantzouris — projected ~25 pitches. Lowest WHIP on the staff.
- Innings 5–6: James Cooper — projected ~25 pitches. Save Smith and Robey as "break-glass" arms.
- Break-glass: Smith or Robey — only if we need to extend or replace.
USSSA 10u: any pitcher hitting 36+ needs 2 days rest. Plan stays well under daily-max for all three.
