Throws like a girl
Anyone following the girl from Philly who's ripping up the Little League World Series? Most interesting sports story I've seen in a long time.
Kids at this level are extremely good. Only girl on her team, first game she throws a 2 hit shutout, dealing 70 mph heat. I watched part of the second game, where she didn't pitch. She starts at 3d, when the shortstop is hurt she moves to short. First time up she gets a hit and drives in a run. OK, it was a bloop, but she was against a very good pitcher.
I've been a fan of women's sports for years, but having a girl pitching and playing third and short on an elite all star team is a real eye opener. She is skinny and has a beautiful, fluid motion. She would seem to have a huge upside. Interesting to see what happens when she gets older. She plays hoop too.
