Biggest 12-year-old I've seen

[webspinnre]

Doing a LL Majors game, and VT has 12 year old who is at least 6'1". When he's batting, he's standing next to a 5'1 catcher, who is of course squatting. 6th inning they bring him into pitch, and far and away the hardest I've ever seen thrown on a 40-60 field, and also throws a curve and a knuckle-curve. Impressive to say the least.

Travel ball circles are loaded with 'em. Guys really need to pay attention to the gear they're using these days, especially at levels that may be assumed to be 'safe'. The wrong mask or CP at 12U could be painful. Kids that size and with that ability is why I'm wearing my best (upgraded everything this year), even at LL. Thing is...there aren't a lot of 12 y/o catchers who can catch that kid, so the umpire is going to do it!

​I'm calling BS on that birth certificate.

Wow, that seems like it'd be a safety issue.

An update on Aaron...

Aaron Durley, a 6’10 native of Houston, Texas, was the first commit that Trent Johnson secured when he took the head coaching job at TCU.

Two years later, Trent Johnson confirmed that Aaron Durley’s career as a Horned Frog is over due to back to back ACL tears that kept him from ever playing a game in a TCU uniform.

During his first year on campus, Durley tore his ACL in a non-contact weave drill. After rehabbing the injury for nine months, Durley was fighting to break into TCU’s rotation to start the 2013-2014 season when he tore the same ACL while on a team trip to Canada.

Looking after the long-term health of Durley and his knees, Johnson, Durley and trainers made a collective decision that he would not continue his basketball career. However, Durley is expected to stay at TCU to finish his degree.

Durley played high school basketball at Fort Bend Bush High School where he was a teammate of Texas Longhorn standout Cameron Ridley. Durley averaged 8.2 points per game and 4.3 rebounds per game as he split time with Ridley.

Aaron Durley was also a famous baseball player during his days as a youth. With his family living in Saudi Arabia, Durley played on the Arabian American Team in the Little League World Series. In 2006 at the age of 13, Durley was 6’8, and the largest player playing in the Little League World Series.

​So would it be safe to say he might be disjointed?

I remember this story.  They apparently did a whole extensive back ground check on him

His wife said he was 12, so I guess it was ok....
