My first question is how did the batter not avoid that. Seems like a pretty easy pitch to duck if you ask me. He reacted in slow mo.
Greatness shines
What the fu#$
This is what great sportsmanship, compassion, respect and humility looks like. Great life lesson for us all to learn. Thank you young man!
A gentleman 👏
The adults in every sport should take note. Pure class
🤕
I see lots of empathy for the pitcher… for the actual person hit in the head… not so much
The love are kids give these days is a good lesson 4 grown ups & the future
What a wonderful moment. Kind of a jerk move the coach walks up and bumps the kid who got hit out of the way and doesn’t even commend him for his wonderful act.
What a stud!?! You are talking about a 12 year old BOY! What a disgusting, perverted thing to say! Fire that announcer!
That is amazing, such a great kid. I hope the hitter is okay….that was a hard impact.
Australia gives how much to hina?. No wonder I cant get anyone to look at my paperwork of gov abuse. we need that commie roll to keep playing out the last scenes of this play.
Angel Hernandez would have called that pitch a strike
Class act
This is why Gen-Z will be the one to unite us all.
Things are only going to get Worst. This kind of Stuff is Youtube content and Social media content. These kids NEED to be Protected from Violence. Ever since the the Smart phones with Cameras recordings have been going up in Social Media of Violent act to get Views. The Hecklings and Chastising of Kids and Officials has gotten Worst. These People are Intentionally doing this in order to Make recordings so they can get Views on Social media. It is Possible that Hitting Batters with Balls could also be intentional in order to Get views on Social Media. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ( MONEY ) $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ These Kids NEED Protection from Violence.
The kid got hit – not killed. This is getting a bit emotionally ridiculous. What are the Russians and the Chinese thinking of Americans? We are soft-headed.
