That's very true OMG-some seem to completely forget that Shepherd was 14 YEARS OLD when he pitched in that game. What kid that age wouldn't get "rattled" or lose his "velocity". I get sick of hearing on here how he "mentally fell apart". Fact is, most kids his age would have still been pitching in senior league!!

Whether an LC fan or not, this kid deserves credit for handling himself the way he did and DOES now. That was one awesome position he was put in and he did very well. I've seen upperclassmen not handle such pressure any better than Shepherd did that night.

True...Shep handled himself very well. No matter what the age. I think he will be a very good pitcher this year, but I think he won't be great for at least a year or 2.
