[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you are talking about super athletic kid, it is not safe and fun. Even athletic kids who did not play baseball struggle a lot, but at least don't get hurt.

[b]12 yrs old is too late. [/b]I've seen many cases. [/quote]

Just stop, 12 years old isn’t too late for just about anything.[/quote]

+1. My cousins kid first played baseball at 13 and went on to play at Gettysburg. These naysayers are morons.[/quote]

Yeah....and I won big lottery ticket yesterday.

It is fantasy land that on average late comer to the baseball will get ahead so much. Trust me, I spent way much time with kids and baseball over decades. [/quote]

If you think I was bragging about.... Gettysburg... take a seat Gramps. I was sharing an anecdote I know first hand that counters the BS in here that 12 year olds have missed the bus on baseball. Hell, even the pros are full of athletes that played a different sport in college. Stop trying so hard to be on of the gate keepers of baseball. You guys are the worst. Washed up, never any good, loudmouths mansplaining everything to anyone with an ear.[/quote]

Exactly. An anecdote rather than what happens in majority of cases.

I've never heard that anyone talented was ever refused or stopped. On contrary. All I see is unrealistic expectations and going overboard with lines like "that kid that pitches 75mph and is only 9yr old".[/quote]
