Hey Guys. Some advise please-
My 12yo son has a 12yo cousin that play LL in a nearby town. This past winter I had a conversation with my sister about him trying out for travel ball with my son, as he is a very good player. I'm not sure how it came up, but she mentioned that he was only in the minors in LL and that his coach suggested that he stay in the minors at 12 also. This struck me as strange but at the time I just let it go. The other day when I asked how he was doing, she said that he was doing great. He's pitched 2 SO's 2 NH's and just had a perfect game. I couldn't believe it. I know some leagues are different, but around here it's against the rules for a 12yo to pitch in the minors. This coach is breaking the rules and I just found out how he's getting away with it. The minor league program is so small in his town that there are only 2 or 3 teams. So they combined with my town and that's when he has my nephew pitch. So the other kids don't know him. They just think that he's a big 11yo. He's pitching against some of my freind's sons and destroying them. I don't think it's right, but should I do anything? or just let it go. I trust you guys. Thanks for letting me rant.
