Waaahhhh! That kid's too good -- he strikes out other kids. He must be punished because his natural ability makes the other team suffer poor self-esteem...

I see it as a great way to raise the level of the entire league; 'cos eventually, they will be able to hit that ball. Then they'll have a leg up on the others.

I saw that this morning as well. I think it's rather cheap of the league... I mean, 40MPH is *not* that fast, frankly.
I was halfway expecting a Danny Almonte thing, where he was really a couple of years older. Shame on the league... and the rest of the coaches. Especially if it's a load of sour grapes 'cause the coach of the "elite" team didn't get him...

Mediocrity must have it's day; if he's not mediocre then he shouldn't be allowed to play.
Ah, Hell! Course he should, all the other kids will just be aiming to beat him so it'd raise the standard across the league, as Variol says in his post. It may feel hard along the way but it's far easier to improve by challenging yourself or being challenged than by not doing so.

By the same token; does everyone stop player tennis because of the Williams and Nadel?

I stopped because I was rubbish and hated playing it.

That's a travesty. It angers me a little. If he was a dangerous pitcher based on his aim or something, that'd be fair enough, but just because he's a bit too good for others to stand up against is a bit annoying.
