Egregious Bat Flip-New One

[cjroman]

It finally happened...Had the egregious bat flip that was so easy to run the player on...12U travel 50/70 diamond. Kid was very tall/lanky...at least 6 feet tall and easily 170 or so...Kid already had a HR in game one. Top 2 of game 2 and he comes to the plate and absolutely smokes one to center. I take off the mask, watch the ball sail over the fence by a good 50 feet and signal HR. As I'm stepping out about even with the plate and slightly up the 1B line I glance towards 1B to get the touch and I see the BR about 50 feet up the line, finishing his bat toss one handed back towards home plate.  If I would have kept walking out towards the mound it would have easily hit me. Bat had to be a good 10-15 feet in the air, spinning end over end. Bat lands about 3-4 feet in front of home plate. I watched him touch them all, team is out celebrating and I calmly walk over to the 3rd base coaches box, where the Head Coach is and tell him number 22 is ejected for the bat flip/unsportsmanlike conduct...I'm actually surprised this is the first one I've had...
