Do any of these players make it to the big leagues or go on to be adult studs? I don't think I've ever heard of one.

#fanningbrag alert: When I was 12, my all star team made it to state. It was really dramatic. Tied game, runners on 3rd and second, and they tried to intintialy walk our best hitter. He leaned over the plate, put it in right field and we won our district. At state, we made it all the way to the championship game before losing to the state winner who headed to the LLWS that summer. Anyways, this guy had a no hitter into the 6th against us and I broke it up down on an 0-2 count with a curve ball over the middle.

By headed to the LLWS that summer you mean the Central Regional right?

Thats exciting!

My cousin is apparently a pretty good catcher in NY. I hope turns out to be a total stud boss. I guess he is playing in a tournament in Cooperstown this weekend.

Hmm a Kansas team? I'm pretty positive a Kansas team has never made it to the LLWS in Williamsport...

I'm guessing Iowa.

the LLWS is a complete sham. it's a made for television event. these are not the best teams.
12/13 year olds playing on 60' base paths with 46' pitching is ridiculous, those dimensions are what 9 year olds play on

It's actually kids aged 10-12, 'Clams!

You start playing on normal dimensions when you're 13.

It really is. At that age USSSA, which is a far more pervasive youth baseball organization, plays 70' bases, 50' mound, minimum 230' down the lines (but usually longer) and minimum 275' in center. The no leadoffs thing is the worst. Might as well be Blue Valley Rec machine pitch.
