It amazes me how this story has caught fire and it is listed everywhere! Unfortuntely there is more (or in this case less) to the story than what is being reported.
The primary issue with this kid is NOT his fastball. The primary issue is that he was inserted into the league mid season. The problem was that once the league formed, they had to turn away some of the kids.
When the parents of the kids which were turned down earlier in the season realized that there were new kids on the other team, and in the middle of the season, they blew a gasket. The parents of course, refuse to let someone else into the league mid season based on the idea that before they let this kid in they have to let their own kid in!
Enter a comment from the mother of a very good pitcher (the kid in question) to the right media outlet, and the whole thing takes a life on its own. Now the drama is that the kid pitches are too fast, when the reality is that his team is breaking the rules by inserting a kid in the middle of the season into the line up!
