I am an assistant coach for a Pee-Wee team this Fall. We have 10 kids and all of them vary in batting experience. Out of the first 4 games we have the following:

1) 2 Kids batting .750 or higher
2) 2 Kids batting .420 - .550
3) 2 Kids batting .200 - .300
4) 4 Kids batting .000

I am currently sorting the top 6 at the top part of the order with the higher batting AVG kids batting in the 4 and 5 position. My concern is that when we hit the last half of the team it is a quick inning. Is there a good rule of thumb positioning these batters. I really do not want to put the good kids towards the bottom since I will not have a chance to RBI the kids and not have as many ABs.
