I can assure you the first thing the coach thought was that the other kid that plays outfield would have gotten to that ball. I don't believe the kid did anything wrong, and actually to me he seemed to make a very good play on the ball. Next game he was sitting on the bench.
It's hard to tell what sort of jump he had on the ball as the initial camera angle is on the hitter. It's one play and honestly I didn't initially think to myself, so and so could have gotten that. It was a nice hit. I wouldn't over think it. Maybe they were thinking more about the pitch.
Looks like it was a beautiful day, your son was on the field playing, you were either there in person or could watch it from home. That's some blessings to be grateful for.
