Gotta keep in mind the level of competition we are watching in LLWS...high AAA for the most part. I know he looks dominating tearing through line ups, but they are AAA line ups.
That kid is a Major caliber player. There are 1 or 2 more on the Georgia LLWS team that Major teams around here would like to have.
Still, I love watching the LLWS, even with all its shortcomings. Georgia LL has done a great job, and the boys seem to be having a blast. Hats off to them.

I was wondering how some kids and that kid in-particular compared to a Bandit player. Does he compare well?
We've heard the Bandits have 3 pitchers throwing in the 80's; one 83-84 mph.
I never saw a kid throwing that hard at the LLWS but I could image if they can't hit 77 with movement, 80+ would be lights COMPLETELY out.
I've never saw the Bandits live; my buddy saw them and the Pride go at it in the E32 WS; said they had a huge crowd. I hope to see them one day soon. |

Posted - 08/22/2011 : 20:55:46 Great game today for Georgia winning in 9 innings, but geez they burned a lot of pitching. I don't know how that will impact them, haven't looked yet when they play next.
Their stud was on fire pitching. He struck out nearly every kid he faced. Looks like Bandit material to me. Mid 70's, can locate his heater and curve ball, and hit 65+ pitching well. Does well under pressure. |
