The pitcher for the Mid-Atlantic (Staten Island) is incredible. His mechanics/delivery are just head and shoulders ahead of everyone else. Really fun to watch.

Hawaii looks really good too.

Fun stuff

With the new bat rules, all the pitchers are dominant.

I like the new bat rules.

Yeah, they’re great if you like watching 11 innings of 0 run games.

Composite and aluminum bats ruined the game. Every kid thinks they're a power hitter. Now they can learn the game the way it's supposed to be played.

Staten Island isn't too far away from NYC where they send 15 year olds to pitch against 12 year olds ... just sayin'.

That’s true, unfortunately it makes it boring to watch. But they could have accomplished that with different baseballs. My son’s teams always used composite bats but didn’t hit nearly the amount of HR’s they hit in the LLWS because we didn’t use the really tightly wound baseballs.

I've always found I can hit it harder when my balls are wound tightly.

Staten Island is part of NYC.

Maybe because your sons team wasn’t the same quality you see in Williamsport, no disrespect

Some New Yorkers would argue

My travel team was better than the teams in Williamsport. Most of my guys went on to play college ball.

Spain has a 12 year old that's 6' 1", 248 lbs. Kid pitches and plays first base. Just dwarfs most of his teamates. Can't believe his size for his age.
