I think that the entitlement issue that where dealing with is there in a sense but I think every generation has this issue.
On one hand... Yes they do get participation trophies at some point however that really doesn't mean much as long as when they get to higher level baseball a coach is honest and respectful to them to make sure they know their role on the team or if they don't make the team why and what they can do to get better to make the team the following year.
I have talked to some coaches who simply ignore players when they cut them or when they don't play them which creates a parent issue that they were trying to avoid by ignoring the player. The kids come up with some reason to be mad at the coach because the coach hasn't told the kid the truth... I guess in short kids can only be entitled if we let them be entitled.
