Taiwan ranks high on the worldwide journalism and free speech standards so the news would be ALL OVER that kind of controversy.

[@psymar]

Keep in mind that little league fields are smaller, too. The pitcher's mound is closer. That 70mph slider? The amount of time they have to react is about the same as a 100mph slider from a big league mound.

@@psymar Oh absolutely I don’t put that on them I imagine that’s how I’d look if you told me I had to be at bat there too

[@AliceYobby]

@@psymarthis is just a false myth. It’s about reaction time which has to do with speed and not velocity, which is what that comparison measures. If your comparison held up it should be near-impossible to hit a 30mph ball from 10 feet away as that’s the equivalent of a 270mph pitch from 90feet away. But it’s not, because hitting isn’t about velocity, it’s about speed the moment a ball passes the plate.

As someone who played in the AS-PAC regional tournaments in 2015 and 2016 for team Saudi Arabia, I can say that, although Chinese Taipei was not as intimidating as the Korean team, playing them was like a kick in the balls. The only home run I gave up in my entire Little League career was to a 4’6” kid from Chinese Taipei who took me to right-center.

[@ashleyrocha1028]

My son plays club ball for 10U and we were seeing kids this good last year at 9U. We had a 9yo pitcher who was throwing 63mph. It was eye opening how good these younger kids are today. They spend a lot of time on the fields.

[@rodafowa1279]

I remember when I was on my local Williamsport team. We had some good players. Our "top guy" was already over 6 feet tall and easily threw 70+. He would crush home runs 300+ feet with ease. There was actually a fairly busy road about 75 feet away from the left field fence. He hit a few balls into that street. Needless to say, he was the "talk of the team." When tournament time came, we blew away the first two teams we played. Then, we came up against this pitcher who looked very unassuming. That was until I saw him warming up. I knew he was going to be a problem. He was a lefty, which was rare. He threw hard, probably 65-70 and had a really nasty curve. He struck out our first two batters. I batted third. I'm a lefty as well (although I throw right-handed), but never had any problem hitting against lefties. Not to brag because we're talking about facing 12-year-old kids here (although I was the youngest kid on the team), but I think my batting average that season was .4xx something. I just did my best to emulate Ken Griffey Jr., my favorite player with the best swing of all-time, and it worked. Anyway, in my first at-bat, I got jammed on a fastball, but managed to bloop a single. The kid struck out the big guy I was talking about after that. My second time around, the kid hung a curve, and I destroyed it. That was the only run we managed all game. My third and last time up, he nailed me with a fastball. We lost 7-1 I believe, and I managed two of the three hits we had. After the game, the pitcher came up and apologized for hitting me. He also said I was the only lefty who managed to hit a home run off him the last two seasons. Because I was 11 that season, I was eligible to be on the Williamsport team again the next season. I turned it down and chose to play on the lesser "tournament team" as it was called. I just wasn't into the 3+ hour practices of the Williamsport team, combined with the inflated egos of the kids on the team, plus some of the annoying parents. Definitely had more fun that time around.

Good catchers are very rare, especially at this age. Travel teams are able to find them, but with LL they can only draw from their own districts so the chance of having one in any particular area is slim to none.

[@dlv444]

@@sntslilhlpr6601 Don't get me wrong, I saw some fundamentally sound catchers. However what you wrote proves my point. In a whole district of LL players not one coach took the time or had the knowledge to teach basic fundamentals. Catching the top or side of a ball, basic blocking, basic stance with and without runners on base. Kids catching from their knees with players on base at the LL world series is a coach failure not a talent pool failure IMO.

[@imightbebiased9311]

I'm guessing Canada's guy also plays hockey. Basically lives in a mask. :D

You’re not wrong. To often a catchers practice is just catch the pitchers. I tried once a week to run catcher only drills. We worked on everything with them. I had multiple stud catchers and we did very well in tournaments. The main thing we stressed was how to receive the ball. Nothing worse than a pitcher throwing a strike and the catcher turning it into a ball.

Pennsylvania's pitcher was silky smooth with that pendulum step

[@chuckschickbaldtacos]

Why is this adult throwing sliders ?

[@nicol9114]

6:33 Nasty pitch

[@reaganching1967]

The Philippines (AP) grils Junior League team has a great pitcher. Number 24 Erica Arnaiz struck-out 85 in the entire tournament. I hope you have time to take a look at her too. Thank you Jomboy!

5’8 and 164 at 12 and being athletic is INSANE

[@chuckjones7218]

and probably not true at all

[@stxmps3037]

12 year old almost weighs the same as steven kwan

[@organicmilk5]

I’m sorry but I can’t help but think of Benchwarmers: I am 12 😂

[@Gumbocinno]

I'm not in any way convinced that kid is young enough to be playing there

[@Chooopy]

I am. He reminded me of me at that age. Early puberty early bloomer. 5’8 around 12 years old. Sadly I only grew about 2.5 more inches while some people I towered over in 6th grade, towered over me in high school ☹️

[@stxmps3037]

@@Chooopy were u 165 lbs?

[@Chooopy]

@@stxmps3037 Yeah somewhere around there. High school I was 5'11 185. I remember I had quite the similar build to the guy. I didn't play baseball, but I did play tennis and I was crushing U12-16 tournaments because I had a nasty serve for the age groups due to my height and strength.

These kids are so much cooler then I or any of us will ever or have ever been

[@MsLane61]

Parents' bottomless pockets, lots of money and opportunities will do that for you.

[@markdarragh6620]

Pretty unfair to have those pitches at 12. It would be. If he were really 12. 😂

[@snakeeyes9246]

That pitcher is better than a lot of the 14u and 16u pitchers I've been an umpire for.

[@JohnSmith-ti9uq]

His actual 12 year old little brother is probably hiding somewhere back home in Taiwan. This kid is a Ringer if I've ever seen one.

[@kerrisheets6145]

​@@JohnSmith-ti9uqI have been saying this since the start of the Tournament. He has better gas and sliders than a lot of hs pitchers. 12 my ass

[@mdmyer]

@@kerrisheets6145 Reminds me of that movie the Benchwarmers where they recruit that man to play on the team by giving him a note written in crayon saying he is 12.

[@shaindaman13]

@@kerrisheets6145so have I. You can hear his wife n kids in the crowd cheering for him. He drives the team bus cause he’s the only one with his CDLs.

[@JasondenHollander-qj5hp]

The stuff they are doing at 12yrs old is insane. I wasn’t even allowed to throw a curve or slider

[@brdywatson1282]

Taiwan out there with 20 year olds again

[@dominickwarren523]

Nah that kids 16 for sure 😂😂 benchwarmer vibes 😂😂. "I am 12".
