I've coached Little League for nine years, starting when my oldest son was in Tee-Ball. He has one more weekend of games for his AAU team and will be vying next week for a spot on a U-14 team for the Fall and next Spring, even though he would still be eligible for the U-13 that he played at this season. My youngest just completed his 1st season of Minors (i.e. only three years left in LL).

I've filled all sorts of roles: Board Member, Level Director, Safety Officer, Head Manager, Assistant Coach, Fallball Coordinator, Plate/Field Umpire, official score keeper...even grill man in the concession stand (ours is fairly robust).

I say all that to say this...Nearly anything thrown to this kid in that stance is a strike if I'm behind the plate. Period. This is worse than the kids who step out of the box every pitch, if only because this is the LLWS and the kid should know better. Besides, the strike zone is established when the batter steps into the box. Not by his stance.
