Generally, batting averages (and ERAs) are misleading. There are some really bad teams out there--for every 40-2 Florida, there is a 2-40 team. The question is always, "What can you do against the good pitchers?" Lastrapes plays in the PAC-10, the most difficult softball conference in D1. She is probably the best hitter in the list.
113. QABs include any one of the following: 3 pitches after 2 strikes, 6+ pitch at bats, extra base hits, hard hit balls, walks, sacrifice bunts, or sacrifice flies. Some of these just don't matter to me much. At 10U, we have girls who don't swing the bat much. They rack up the QAB due to those first two qualifiers.
In my experience of 12U, my own team, etc., I'm guessing the national batting average for 12U travel ball is around .315-.320. Of course, hitting .350 would be pretty good at the level you're playing. The same .350 hitter might hit .500 at a lower level or .200 at a higher level. It's all contextual.

A .450 batting average against constant top pitching could be a better hitter than a .600 batting average against constant low level pitching. Since players within a team all face the same opponents, the use of batting averages is of value to a coach in judging the effectiveness of his/her players, but they mean little beyond that.
3,844. 113. In high school ball my daughter usually carried a batting average in the high 400's, but I really dont consider school ball a good indicator as they see so many sub par teams. Club ball was low 400's, juco also was high 300's to low 400's and D1 ball was mid 300's her jr year and her sr year was 390.
It will definitely effect batting averages. I'm pretty sure HS baseball is played on a full sized college regulation field not sure why you wouldn't play HS softball on a full sized college regulation field especially given that girls physically mature at an earlier age than boys.
The Evolution of High School Softball Pitching Distance. It wasn’t too long ago that high school softball pitching mounds were secured at 40 feet. I graduated from high school in 2010 and pitched all four years for my school team from the 40 ft. distance. This was a high advantage as a pitcher because it decreased the batter’s reaction time ...
I am adamant that the correct player be scored for the correct stats, good or bad. I am also open to questions about the scorekeeping.
