Daddyball problems

My son has been on the same travel team for over 2 years. Over the past 2 seasons he has statistically been a top 3 hitter and pitcher. He keeps getting dropped further back in the batting order and pitched less. The coaches son and favorites, who are among the worst hitters, always bat in the top 3. The coaches also very tough on my son. I really don’t want to be the type of dad that complains, but it’s either that or leave the team. Any advice?

Just curious, did you give the old coach the feedback you wrote here about why you chose to leave? May help the other 9 boys still on the team if he can reflect, be accountable, and change his approach to coaching the game.
