Can anyone help with batting order? I have the following players on a 10 and under league. (No stats, just general info.)
Should I use a different order if batting at top or bottom of inning? We seem to be getting 3 outs in a row by sticking the not so good ones at the end. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

The Players:
Alexis - bats ok, but usually thrown out at first, doesn't run quickly
Jayde - Strikeout
Alexandra - Strikeout
Mackenna - bats ok, usually gets on base, decent runner
Brianna - one of two power hitters, fast runner
Nicole - base hitter, fastest runner
Kelcie - poor batter but doesn't strike out every time, usually hits close to home plate, decent runner
Alyssa - strikeout in last 3 games, very poor runner
Mariyah - hits ok and runs ok
Kayla - other power hitter but not as fast as Brianna
Sydney - hits ok and runs ok
