Question
Thanks for your response to my question.
My follow up question is: Are there any downsides to those rule modifications for the better players? It seems like hits to the outfield could be taken away with the four outfielders, and better players would get far less at bats? Thanks again, this site is very informative.

Answer
Pat:  You are correct.  In that system players will get less hits, as well as less at bats.  I would estimate each player would get at least one less at bat per game, than they would with a straight 9 line up batting order.

If your son is into baseball and has average to better than average skills at this point in time, he might be better suited to a more traditional set up.  

Four outfielders and 12 batter lineups are better suited for recreational levels.

Yours in baseball,

Rick
