Other than height and muscle tone along with some extra facial hair, this is the 3rd summer that I haven't seen a huge jump in ability. Either you can play and you are a competitor, or you can't and aren't. Some kids look more polished than others, but at the end of the day, it's all flash and not that much difference in substance.

Does this make sense to anyone else?

I see more parity, especially between 16 and 18. It is not uncommon at all to see a good 16U team compete and win against a good 18U team. And the gap between 17 and 18 is practically non-existent among the better teams.

I think you're underselling the gap between 15s and 18s, but the majority of these guys are on the right side of the puberty divide now, which wasn't the case a year or two ago, and that will compress the talent range, plus the talent floor is probably just generally higher once having to make the HS team has started thinning out the ranks.

The elite pitchers, vs throwers, begin to stand out. The kids who are working more at the "off field" requirements are edging ahead. The hitters who can hit quality pitching starting to stand out. Defensively, about the same from 15u- physical errors are going to happen, fewer mental errors, more automatics, cleaner DP's, good hands becoming apparent and the kids that have the better grades are moving out in front, A's/B's say more than B//C's
