Likely because 50% of those kids on the LL Allstar roster are the kids of coaches or the kids of the coaches friends. Bum, Jr. was a rarely-used sub at that age.

Should have fun at age 10. Success or lack of it at that age means nothing.

No doubt there was some of that - but we are talking about a sample of over 200 kids - I suspect that a greater cause is simply how kids grow from 13 to 15 and as result some get better and some fall back.

Regardless, baseball should be all about fun at 10 or 12 and not about success...
