Nothing gets by teammates in a dugout especially among 11year olds. There was a kid on my son's travel team that threw extremely hard for an 11 year old before they got on the larger field. He was constantly blowing it by kids. One of the other travel team parents coined the phrase "VNG" or "Virginia Natural Gas" because of his consistent velocity on the mound. The name stuck but his teammates called him "VNG" for a vastly different reason. Again, nothing gets by teammates in a dugout.

To your point, which is absolute truth, one of my college teammates was nicknamed “Johnny P” - which seems logical because his first name was John and his last name began with the letter P. But that wasn’t the reason at all. Johnny P could have had quite the career in the porn industry had he been so inclined. Thankfully he wasn’t. But nothing gets by teammates in a locker room either.
