In no particular order probably something like:
OC Batbusters Stith
Firecrackers TJ
EC Bullets 2020
Firecrackers Brashear
Corona Angels
SoCal Choppers*
Athletics Mercado/Greg
Those 7 are pretty solid. Hard to pick after those. I put the * next to Choppers because I can’t remember if that’s a 2020, 2021 or a 2022 team. Very good squad tho.
After those 7 you can make a
Monster argument for a lot of teams. OCBB Lara/Portesi, FC Brashear/Hicks, Breakers, Tigers Lestrapes, SoCal Athletics, West Bay Warriors, Suncats, Etc. Lots of them in that mix and probably others too that I have forgotten about. LoL
Definitely in So Cal 16u is the toughest to rank. At this age, many players and teams have mastered playing softball and no longer in the "development" stage. Fundamentals still need to be worked on, but not developed like in 10/ 12/14u. In 18u many of the less successful teams have been weeded out, and tourneys feature teams playing up, so not true 18u divisions.
Interested to see what the HB Community ranks
