Did you guys even watch the videos? How many 16 year old kids do you know that throw in the 80s? How many do you know that have been featured by ESPN because of their "talents"? I have played/coached/been involved with baseball for tha last 27 years and I can asnwer those for you. TWO: This young man and Bryce Harper.
I know we don't know the entire story. But, from what I have seen and read. Things just don't add up.

Why won't the Coach be interviewed to defend himself? They give a reason why, covering bunts, and the kid says they never did anything close to that. He said all he did was throw. I'm sorry guys. Things just don't add up numbers wise. Must be nice to have a team where EVERY pitcher you have throws in the 80s and also throws the curve for strikes. And I'm guessing a team that size would have at least 8 to 9 pitchers. Even if they do, have all pitchers throwing in the 80s. Looks like having a young kid throwing like that would at least make the JV, where he could be developed for the future.

Now, I do agree with you guys. If EVERYONE else is better....then yes, cut. But, this case just dosen't hold water IMO. Something isn't right.
Come on Bob Seger, JackRabbitSlim, Panther Thunder. Let me hear your guys perspectives on this.

Exactly on target Hook.:Clap: I am afraid the people who made this decision were afraid of what this kid "might" not be able to do rather than what he had proved he could do. This all with a political correctness light shining.
